lyrics

Two Worlds Alex Vann & Gary O’Dowd October 2009

CHORUS
We live in two worlds
A hearing world and the Deaf World
There is an open door that we can go between

VERSE 1
When I look back, I can see
That growing up I was so lonely
I can’t hear your words but I see your body move

VERSE 2
I read your lips when I see your face
Relationships rarely taking place
I want to speak my mind but I don’t know how

PRE CHORUS
I never knew what my hands could do
Now I communicate in a new way, so I’m thanking you

CHORUS
We live in two worlds
A hearing world and the Deaf World
There is an open door that we can go between

VERSE 3
The barriers, they come falling down
My battle’s won, when I look around
You are the same as me and I’m not alone

VERSE 4
I’m a citizen from a different land
With a little luck you will understand
There’s no need to shout, you can learn my language

PRE CHORUS
I never knew what your hands could do
Now you communicate in a new way, so I’m thanking you

CHORUS
We live in two worlds
A hearing world and the Deaf World
There is an open door that we can go between

PRE CHORUS
I never knew what our hands could do
Now we communicate in a new way, so I’m loving you

CHORUS
We live in two worlds
A hearing world and the Deaf World
There is an open door that we can go between

PRE CHORUS
I never knew what my heart could do
Now we communicate in a new way, so I’m loving you
