NATIVE TONGUE |
| Feel your heartbeat bang the drum |
| Open up your eyes and fill your lungs |
| The same word from where the stars are flung |
| Love’s the language, love’s 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 |
| Accuser’s voices start to disappear |
| In the wind, in the tongues of the flame |
| In my soul, in my one true name, oh |
| Back 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 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 loud, get loud, get |
| Louder than the voices in the crowd, yeah |
| Even when they tried to drown you out, eh |
| Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue |
| So sing it out, get loud, get |
| Louder than the darkness and the doubts, eh |
| Louder than the curses and the shouts, yeah |
| Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue |
| (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) |
| (Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh) |
| 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) |
| 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 |
