Speaking In Tongues Lyrics
Got the kind of face everybody knows.
Run around barefoot when it snows.
Growin’ out your hair ‘cos you like it long.
Fighting in the road ‘cos you know it’s wrong.
People got a thing for the dangerous.
You’ll find it inside the best of us.
Taking what they want like it’s owed to them.
Other folks do the best they can… Some of us do the best we can!
Brothers! Brothers!
Everybody’s speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love!
Never met a man ‘said he did not try
Running from the truth time again in life.
You can be the poor one, rich or wise,
But all of us know ‘bout sacrifice.
Put me in the water, put me in the fire.
Put me in the world and I’ll walk that wire.
Seen the people come and I’ve seen them go.
Talk all day but it’s what they show… Talk all day but it’s what you show!
Run around barefoot when it snows.
Growin’ out your hair ‘cos you like it long.
Fighting in the road ‘cos you know it’s wrong.
People got a thing for the dangerous.
You’ll find it inside the best of us.
Taking what they want like it’s owed to them.
Other folks do the best they can… Some of us do the best we can!
Everybody’s speaking in tongues, we gotta speak in love!
Running from the truth time again in life.
You can be the poor one, rich or wise,
But all of us know ‘bout sacrifice.
Put me in the water, put me in the fire.
Put me in the world and I’ll walk that wire.
Seen the people come and I’ve seen them go.
Talk all day but it’s what they show… Talk all day but it’s what you show!

The guitar riff in this song sounds vaguely familiar, does anybody know what I speak of. Anyway, this is a song about how the world is divisive and in need of repair. It seems the lead singer admits that he is also part of the problem. I live the Christian message but there is a major flaw in the thinking there...If Jesus came with a sword, then why is he preaching about love. I guess tough love is better than no love.
