V1.
Got the kind of face everybody knows.
Run around barefoot when it snows.
Growin' out your hair, and you like it long.
Fightin' in the road, and you know that's wrong.
People got a thing for the dangerous.
You'll find it inside the best of us.
Takin' what they want like it's owed to them.
Some of us do the best we can.
Some of us do the best we can!
CHORUS:
Brothers! Brothers!
Everybody's speaking in tongues,
We gotta speak in love!
Brothers! Brothers!
Everybody's speaking in tongues,
We gotta speak in love!
V2.
Never met a man said he did not try,
Runnin' from the truth time again in life.
You can be the poor one, rich or wise,
Everybody knows '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!
CHORUS:
Brothers! Brothers!
Everybody's speaking in tongues,
We gotta speak in love!
Brothers! Brothers!
Everybody's speaking in tongues,
We gotta speak in love!
V3.
People got a thing for the dangerous.
You'll find it inside the best of us.
Takin' what they want like it's owed to them.
Some of us do the best they can.
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.
