Village

It's a phone call out of the blue

A casserole sitting on a welcome mat

It's an afternoon pick-up from school

Or a, "Hey, do you need some help with that?"

It's a mango margarita

Around a kitchen island to blow off steam

It takes all kinds of people

To keep the wheels from coming off this thing

Family doesn't always come from a tree

Sometimes you gotta sow your own seed

Say hey to a neighbor walking by

Lend a hand without asking why

Nobody knows what the hell they're doing

But we all get through it

It just takes a village

I can't count all the ways

They saved my ass when I was falling down

So I make an extra plate

Keep an open door and keep the judgment out

You can come as you are

Hot mess, don't stress, it'll be alright

And oh, on my worst days

Well, I don't know what I would do without mine

Family doesn't always come from a tree

Sometimes you gotta sow your own seed

Say hey to a neighbor walking by

Lend a hand without asking why

Nobody knows what the hell they're doing

But we all get through it

It just takes a village

So ask for help when you need it

It ain't wrong to believe in

The good in people, every day I see it

Takes a village

Family doesn't always come from a tree

Sometimes you gotta sow your own seed

Say hey to a neighbor walking by

Lend a hand without asking why

Nobody knows what the hell they're doing

But we all get through it

It just takes a village

Oh, nobody knows what the hell they're doing

But we all get through it

It just takes a village

It just takes a village
