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
