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
