Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
For we've been told
That a love like ours could never be
So far apart
They say we're so far apart
And that we haven't the right
To change our destiny

When will they learn
That a heart doesn't draw the line
Nothing matters if I am yours
And you are mine

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one

Two different worlds
We live in two different worlds
But we will show them
As we walk together in the sun
That our two different worlds are one
