I don't feel amazing I don't feel inspired I'm worn ragged, and I'm running on yesterday's fumes Thank God for make up Thank Him for a silent night And thank heavens that you love me like you do I am made of more than my own flesh and bone I'm tended by the ones who know me and hold me In spite of what they have seen It takes a village, yes, it takes your faith The vision of your smiling face You make me more than I am A friend see beauty before it is born He makes you laugh when you'd drown in self-pity Loves without envy Gives without reserve I know you've been that for me I am made of more than my own flesh and bone I'm tended by the ones who know me and hold me In spite of what they have seen It takes a village, yes, it takes your faith The vision of your smiling face You make me more than I am And I thank the one who sent you Cause He knows how much you've meant to me And how we need each other We are sisters and brothers Islands are great to visit But I have found we aren't meant to live apart I need you I am made of more than my own flesh and bone I'm tended by the ones who know me and hold me In spite of what they have seen It takes a village, yes, it takes your faith The vision of your smiling face You make me more than I am You make me more than I am And I thank the one who sent you Cause He knows how much you've meant to me And how we need each other We are sisters and brothers Islands are great to visit But I have found we aren't meant to live apart And I thank the one who sent you Cause He knows how much you've meant to me And how we need each other We are sisters and brothers Islands are great to visit But I have found we aren't meant to live apart You make me more than I am
