Everyone hear what we say, every person here today yes
Everybody in some way, can help to raise the children.
Friends and neighbors lend a hand, help the children understand that we
Live together in this land, and help to raise the children.

Chorus:
It takes a whole village to raise a child
A whole village to raise a smile
There can be no more denial
You can help to raise the children.

Elders of our families, with your wisdom help us please
Pass along your legacies, and help to raise the children.
Older brothers and sisters too, you know that they look up to you
Do the best that you can do, and help to raise the children. Chorus

La, la, la, la etc.

Raise the children up above
Raise the children with our love.

You who live in this great town, stop and take a look around
There is treasure to be found, when you help to raise the children.
Everyone hear what we say, every person here today yes
Everybody in some way, can help to raise the children
Can help to raise the children, ya' got to help to raise the children.
