Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won't forget
When we're gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

For my people, for my daughters
I planted a seed and you gave it water
For all the days that you stayed right by my side

And now I know I'm not alone
You make it grow but above it all
You give me something to believe in

Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won't forget
When we're gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there's no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There's no one man show

For too long I've missed my brother
Showing me the meaning of peaceful hours
While I'm moving faster, I'm such a bad actor
I don't have the answers

And that's when I need you the most
I'm not alone, you make it grow
But above it all
You give me something to believe in

Carve your name onto my naked chest
Here and now I won't forget
When we're gone they will remember us
Sing your heart out and make it count

Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there's no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There's no one man show

Keep my love within your hungry heart
Guide me home when we're worlds apart
Be my light shining in the dark
Sing your heart out and make it count

Takes a village, takes a home
On a night like this there's no one man show
Takes a village, takes a home
There's no one man show
