One Tongue

Intro: G,C (2x)

G
What in the world caused this distance?
C
And what in the world hurt our hearts?
G
And what are we to do about it?
C
And what are we to start?

G
We have an answer and it is language
C
It might be silence it might be words
G
It includes some understanding
C
And it includes the will to learn
      G                         C                            
To be talking, talking, talking one tongue
G                C
Talking, talking one tongue


G
And give us the strength to look straight at you
C
Let doubt be the furthest from our minds
G
So we can continue to be and know that we should be here
C
And we can see the light inside
G                                C
And as it gets more complicated, simplicity must arise
G
So we can follow in this feeling
C
And we can keep this song alive
      G                         C
To be talking, talking, talking one tongue
G                         C
Talking, talking, talking one tongue

G
Yes there are many many questions
C
Yes there is red tape on the ground
G
Yes the simple truth can cut through anything
C
Just touch base and make this sound
       G
I said yes there are too many questions
C
Yes there is red tape on the ground
G
Yes the simple truth can cut through anything
C
Just touch base and make this sound
G                         C
Talking, talking, talking one tongue
