When we will all finally see
That when they said
It takes a village
It was meant
Literally
Let the mother finally sleep, while someone else rocks the baby.
Let someone else go to work, while someone else takes care of hearth.
No matter who, it's meant to be
The best abled
We have no need to compete
Who does more, who does less
It wouldn't matter
If we're all blessed
To see and be seen
As more than what we have always been
Please take my hand you're less alone
We feel your pain down to the bone
If there were tears they weren't unnoticed
None of us are dumb
We teach the novice
Please understand that we are one
I love you all worst to best
You won't be weighed and measured
You don't need to pass a test
To not be treated like a pest
And be supported in your endeavors
No matter what they are, no matter how you seem
We could actually live like this, it isn't just a dream
I hope one day I'll see you there
In the village
Both the tortoise and the hare
