One Crown Between Us

[Verse 1]
On one side of the river
There’s a silver throne
A barefoot queen
Learning how to stand alone
On the other side
A coronation bell
A careful king
Wearing silence like a shell
[Pre-Chorus]
Both draw maps in the candlelight
Tracing borders they never chose
Same bright moon in a different sky
Same wild wind on their roads
[Chorus]
Two kingdoms
One crown between us
Two stories
Same restless star
You bring your banners
I’ll bring my secrets
Meet in the middle of who we are
Lay down your scepter
I’ll loosen my ring
We’ll write a new anthem
For queen and king
[Verse 2]
Her courtyards bloom
But her nights run long
All her halls echo with half a song
His walls stand tall
But his gardens fade
Too much stone in the shade he made
[Pre-Chorus]
They hear rumors in the market stalls
Of a bridge that the river wants
Empty chairs at their aging walls
Both feel the same old haunt
[Chorus]
Two kingdoms
One crown between us
Two stories
Same restless star
You bring your banners
I’ll bring my secrets
Meet in the middle of who we are
Lay down your scepter
I’ll loosen my ring
We’ll write a new anthem
For queen and king
[Bridge]
Flag by flag
They fold their colors (ohh)
Name by name
They bless the ground
Hand in hand
They cross that water
Leave one throne
Build a circle round
[Chorus]
Two kingdoms
One crown between us
Two stories
Now one bright star
I bring my courage
You bring your kindness
Here in the center of who we are
Lay down our titles
Let the new bells ring (let ’em ring)
We are one kingdom
One queen
One king
