Used to walk with my shadow three paces behind
Pretending she wasn't a piece of my mind
Now she walks beside me, shoulder to shoulder
Two of us braver, two of us bolder
Used to be a war zone, now it's a duet
Every part of me, every piece I'd forget
Standing in the daylight, holding her hand
Finally a woman I understand
We were never one
We were always two
I was scared of her
She was scared of you
But the wall came down
And the light came in
And we're holding hands
Where the war had been
It's the TWO of us now, it's the TWO of us now
Walking down the street with our heads held proud
It's the TWO of us now, it's the TWO of us now
Singing to the sky, singing out loud
TWO of us now, TWO of us now
We don't have to whisper, we don't have to bow
TWO of us now, TWO of us now
Every part of me is allowed
The girl that I buried, the girl that I shamed
The girl that I covered, the girl I unnamed
She walks in the sunlight, she walks in the rain
She walks beside me, she sings my name
And the things I was told I should not be
Are the things that finally set me free
And the wildness, the softness, the dark and the bright
Are walking together into the light
We were never one
We were always two
I was scared of her
She was scared of you
But the wall came down
And the light came in
And we're holding hands
Where the war had been
It's the TWO of us now, it's the TWO of us now
(Two of us now!)
Walking down the street with our heads held proud
(Heads held proud!)
It's the TWO of us now, it's the TWO of us now
Singing to the sky, singing out loud
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Every part of me is welcome here
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Every part of me is welcome here
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
EVERY PART OF ME IS WELCOME HERE
EVERY PART OF ME IS WELCOME HERE
(Welcome here, welcome here, welcome here)
So if you see me walking with a smile that's mine
With a stride that's earned and a name that's signed
Know I'm not alone in this skin no more
The girl I was hiding is the girl I adore
And we walk together, we walk in the sun
Two halves of a woman who's finally one
IT'S THE TWO OF US NOW!
IT'S THE TWO OF US NOW!
WALKING DOWN THE STREET WITH OUR HEADS HELD PROUD!
IT'S THE TWO OF US NOW!
IT'S THE TWO OF US NOW!
EVERY PART OF ME IS ALLOWED!
(two of us now, two of us now)
(two of us now, two of us now)
(every part of me is allowed)
