Wake up before the Rooster crows
Waiting for the dawn
The smell of cafe and warm bread
All I need to clear my head
As I look to the horizon
Watch the sun rise
Feel it's heat warming my soul
Fills me up makes me whole
Oooh... The village will never be gone
Oooh... In our hearts it will live on
Empty glasses on the table
From the night before
There were sounds of laughter
All the sounds that I adore
Oooh... The village will never be gone
Oooh... In our hearts it will live on
The mid day light is blinding
Swallows criss cross the sky
There's a stillness in the air
Cicadas singing everywhere
Oooh... The village will never be gone
Oooh... In our hearts it will live on
