It takes a village every woman every man
To teach the children well this can be the promised land
It takes a village It takes a village

It takes a dreamer someone to say I think we can
Find a better way for the family of man to live together
We live together

Chorus:

We build a bridge across the ages to tomorrow
Out of lessons that we learn from yesterday
Take from the past the best that we can borrow
And throw the rest away
Whatever you do it's important to the cause
We work together all for one and one for all
Let's work together it takes a village

It takes a mason to put the first brick in the wall
It takes a lot of pride in what we're doing for it all
To fit together It takes a village

Repeat Chorus:

It takes a mason to put the last brick in the wall
It takes a lot of pride in what we're doing for it all
To fit together it takes a village

It takes a village every woman every man
To teach the children well this can be the promised land
It takes a village it takes a village
It takes a vision to build a village

Have some fun with this song. Translate it from English to French, then go back and translate from French to English. Try it with other languages too. It really does take a village.
