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
