[00:00.96]Sing to me baby in your native tongue
[00:04.12]Sing the words of the wise and the young
[00:08.07]Show me the place where your words come from
[00:11.54]Love is a language, love is your native tongue
[00:15.72]Feel your heart beat, bang the drum
[00:18.63]Open up your eyes and fill your lungs

[00:30.89]My heart is a beating drum
[00:34.92]My head in oblivion
[00:38.17]My soul such a long way from
[00:41.77]My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
[00:46.01]My friend, where did we go wrong?
[00:49.25]My Lord, we forgot our sound
[00:53.40]My soul, such a long way from

[01:07.83]Sing it to me whisper into my ear
[01:11.92]Accusers voices start to disappear
[01:14.76]In the wind in the tongues of the flame
[01:18.99]In my soul, in my one true name
[01:22.49]Back before we learned the words to start a fight
[01:25.92]Back before they told us that the haters were right
[01:29.66]You spoke the truth, "let there be" and there was
[01:33.45]Love's the language
[01:36.00]Love is your native tongue
[01:37.50]
[01:41.07]My heart is a beating drum
[01:46.02]My head in oblivion
[01:49.65]My soul such a long way from

[02:11.69]
[02:13.13]So sing it out, get loud
[02:16.42]Louder than the voices in the crowd
[02:19.43]Even when they try to drown you out
[02:23.61]Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue
[02:27.20]Sing it out, get loud
[02:31.44]Louder than the darkness and the doubts
[02:34.65]Louder than the curses and the shouts
[02:37.99]Your lips, your lungs, your native tongue
[02:41.47]

[03:33.19]I want the world to sing in her native tongue
[03:39.13]To sing it like when we were young
[03:41.97]Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
[03:47.35]I want the world to sing in her native tongue
[03:53.29]Maybe we could learn to sing along
[03:57.37]To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
[04:02.84]I want the world to sing in her native tongue
[04:08.08]To sing it like when we were young
[04:13.07]Back before the pendulum had swung to the shadows
[04:17.01]I want the world to sing in her native tongue
[04:23.30]Maybe we could learn to sing along
[04:27.32]To find a way to use our lungs for love and not the shadows
