Lyrics
One Tongue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What in the world caused this distance?
And what in the world hurt our hearts?
And what are we to do about it?
And what are we to start?
We have an answer and it is language
It might be silence it might be words
It includes some understanding
And it includes the will to learn
To be talking, talking, talking one tongue
Talking, talking one tongue
And give us the strength to look straight at you
Let doubt be the furthest from our minds
So we can continue to be and know that we should be here
And we can see the light inside
And as it gets more complicated, simplicity must arise
So we can follow in this feeling
And we can keep this song alive
To be talking, talking, talking one tongue
Talking, talking, talking one tongue
Yes there are many many questions
Yes there is red tape on the ground
Yes the simple truth can cut through anything
Just touch base and make this sound
I said yes there are too many questions
Yes there is red tape on the ground
Yes the simple truth can cut through anything
Talking, talking, talking one tongue
