Verse 1
Sun rise early on the red dirt road,
Hands in the soil, feel the sacred load.
No one’s meant to carry life alone,
Every seed needs a village to be grown.
From the elders’ wisdom to the children’s dreams,
Every voice matters, every in-between.
When one heart hurts, we all can feel it,
When one hand lifts, the whole world heals it.
Pre-Chorus
Side by side, step by step,
No one left behind, no one forget.
Different gifts, one heartbeat,
Many small fires make the light complete.
Chorus
It takes a village—hear the drum, hear the call,
Every sister, every brother standing tall.
Hand in hand, we rise together,
Build a better world now and forever.
It takes a village—one love, one flame,
Different faces but the hope’s the same.
If we carry each other through the storm,
A better world is born… a better world is born.
Verse 2
In the kitchen, in the streets, in the fields of grace,
Love shows up in the everyday place.
Some bring food, some bring song,
Some bring strength just to keep us strong.
When the night feels heavy, when the road feels long,
We remember why we started, remember where we’re from.
No saviors here, just neighbors who care,
Finding God’s fingerprints everywhere.
Pre-Chorus
Lift the weak, teach the young,
Every voice join the song.
What we give comes circling back,
That’s the rhythm, that’s the track.
Chorus
It takes a village—hear the drum, hear the call,
Every sister, every brother standing tall.
Hand in hand, we rise together,
Build a better world now and forever.
It takes a village—one love, one flame,
Different stories but the hope’s the same.
If we carry each other through the storm,
A better world is born… a better world is born.
Bridge (Call & Response / Chant-Style)
Who feeds the hungry? (We all do)
Who lifts the broken? (We all do)
Who builds the future? (We all do)
Together now—say it true.
Ubuntu—I am because we are
One heart beating like a distant drum far.
No throwaway lives, no wasted days,
Love in motion, love in praise.
Break (Instrumental / Percussion Drop)
(Djembe, shakers, bass pulse—crowd chant softly)
Ohhh-oh, we rise…
Ohhh-oh, one time…
Final Chorus
It takes a village—hear the drum, hear the call,
Every sister, every brother standing tall.
Hand in hand, we rise together,
Build a better world now and forever.
It takes a village—one love, one flame,
Different paths but the road’s the same.
When we choose each other, storm or calm,
A better world is born… in each other’s arms.
Outro
So roll on, village, let the light be known,
This world gets better when love feels at home.
One step, one meal, one open door—
Together we’re building forevermore.
