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 Ooo oooh oooh oh (My native tongue) Ooo oooh oooh oh (My native tongue) Sing it to me, whisper into my ear Accusive voices start to disappear In the wind, in the tongues of the flame In my soul, in my one true name Oh Before we learned the words to start a fight Back before they told us that the haters were right He spoke the truth, let there be and there was 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?
