Lyrics
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD
IT TAKES A VISION TO LIFT OUR EYES
IT TAKES A BRAVE HEART TO SHOW THE WAY
YOU ARE THE VILLAGE, TO YOU WE SAY:
LEAD US, OH LEAD US,
LEAD US TO THE PATH THAT TAKES US HOME
GIVE US, OH GIVE US
SOMETHING TO INSPIRE OUR SOULS.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD
IT TAKES A THOUSAND HANDS LIFTED UP HIGH
IT TAKES A STRONG FAITH TO WATCH AND PRAY
YOU ARE THE VILLAGE, TO YOU WE SAY:
SEE US, OH SEE US,
SEE US AS WE TRULY ARE,
STAY CLOSE, NEVER LEAVE US,
SHADOWS CIRCLE 'ROUND US EVERY SIDE.
IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD
IT TAKES A VISION TO LIFT OUR EYES
IT TAKES A BRAVE HEART TO SHOW THE WAY
YOU ARE THE VILLAGE, TO YOU WE PRAY:
YOU ARE THE VILLAGE, PLEASE...
LEAD THE WAY.
