I see torches marching Afraid of losing ground To the right side of history The statues coming down I see anger driving straight into the crowd And though it all feels too far gone to change Where there is a will there is a way Its gonna take a village Its gonna take some time Its gonna take the blood, sweat, and tears were gonna cry Well face the night together until the morning comes around Its gonna take a village To bring love back to this town I see water rising days after the storm Cause we cant stand the pressure of the heavy reservoir Now we knife off the drywall, start tearing up the floors Strip it til the studs are all that stand Cause if were gonna build it back again Its gonna take a village Its gonna take some time Its gonna take the blood, sweat, and tears were gonna cry Well face the night together until the morning comes around Its gonna take a village To bring love back to this town I lay down my guns Lay hate to rest By taking a good hard look at the heart In the center of my own chest This side of the street All the work is my own Oh, but I dont have to walk it alone No I turn to the gold rule When I get stuck in my ways When I look at the impasse And start to lose faith Every stranger is a neighbor I just dont know his name I have to love local For the world to change Its gonna take a village Its gonna take some time Its gonna take the blood, sweat, and tears were gonna cry Well face the night together until the morning comes around Its gonna take a village To bring love back to this town Its gonna take some time And the blood, sweat and tears were gonna cry Well face the night together til the morning comes around Its gonna take a village To bring love back to this town
