Sing to me, baby, in your native

Sing the words of the wise and the 
young

Show me the place where your words 
come from
E
Love's the language, love’s your 
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
E
Love's the language, love's your 
native tongue

My head in oblivion
D                           B

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue

My friend, where did we go wrong?
A
My Lord, we forgot our song
E                           C#
My soul such a long way from

My lips, my lungs, my native tongue
F#m
Oh-woah-oh-woah-oh (My native 
tongue)

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

[Verse 3]
F#m
Sing it to me, whisper into my ear

Accuser’s voices start to disappear
A
In the wind, in the tongues of the 
flame
E
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

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