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 the language
Love is your native tongue
Feel your heartbeat bang the drum
Open up you eyes and fill your lungs
The same word from where the stars are flung
Love is the language
Love is your native tongue
My heart is the 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 love, we forgot a sound
My soul, such a long way from
My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
(My native tongue)
(My native tongue)
Sing it to me, whisper into my ear
Accuser's voices start to disappear
In the wind, in the goonies of the flame
In my soul, in my one tree name, oh
Before we learn the words to start a fight
Back before they told us all the haters were right
He spoke the truth, "let there be" and there was
Love is the language
Love is your native tongue
My heart is the 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 love, we forgot a sound
My soul, such a long way from
My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
So sing it out, get loud, get
Louder than the darkness and the doubts, yeah
Louder than the curses and the shouts, yeah
Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue
My heart is the 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 love, we forgot a sound
My soul, such a long way from
My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
(My native tongue)
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
