lyrics

The whole world is speaking to you, dear
You move in time, it feels so clear
You spoke some words that I might hear

Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me

Place some flowers in a jar
Open curtains, looking far
See you shining like a gem

Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me

The time is gone the absence long
Feel like I'm breaking a brick wall
One thing will quench this drying parch

Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me

There's a change in the wind
A fork in the road
There's a light on my wall
It's shining like home

Interpret signs and paint it on
A thousands eyes, a thousand gems
You spoke a word that set on fire

Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
Mother tongue moves me
