NATIVE TONGUE

Sing to me baby in your native tongue

Sing the words of the wise and the young

Show me the place where your words come from

Love is a language, love is your native tongue

Feel your heart beat, bang the drum

Open up your eyes and fill your lungs

The same word from where the stars are flung

Love is a language, love is your native tongue

My heart is a beating drum

My head in oblivion

My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

My friend, where did we go wrong?

My Lord, we forgot our sound

My soul, such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

Sing it to me whisper into my ear

Accusers voices start to disappear

In the wind in the tongues of the flame

In my soul, in my one true name

Back before we learned the words to start a fight

Back before they told us that the haters were right

You spoke the truth, "let there be" and there was

Love's the language

Love is your native tongue

My heart is a beating drum

My head in oblivion

My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

My friend, where did we go wrong

My Lord, we forgot our sound

My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

So sing it out, get loud

Louder than the voices in the crowd

Even when they try to drown you out

Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue

Sing it out, get loud

Louder than the darkness and the doubts

Louder than the curses and the shouts

Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue

Ooo oooh oooh oh

Ooo oooh oooh ooh

My heart is a beating drum

My head in oblivion

My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

My friends, where did we go wrong

My Lord, we forgot our sound

My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native tongue)

Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

I want the world to sing in her native tongue

To sing it like when we were young

Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows

I want the world to sing in her native tongue

Maybe we could learn to sing along

To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows

I want the world to sing in her native tongue

To sing it like when we were young

Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows

I want the world to sing in her native tongue

Maybe we could learn to sing along

To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
