Lyrics

IT TAKES A VILLAGE (TO RAISE A BUDDHA) (Walsh)

CHORUS
It takes a village to raise a Buddha
It takes a lifetime to get it right
It takes a village to raise a Buddha
It takes a lifetime to get it right

When your suffering
Is all that you can see
I will chant to set you free
‘Cause I know, I know you’ll chant for me

CHORUS

You can climb the highest mountain
Far from humanity
Escape into the heavens
But where, where will your people be?

CHORUS

In every song we sing
In every little thing
I need you and you need me
To complete the harmony

CHORUS

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
Nam Myoho Renge Kyo
