Two Names, One Voice

[Intro] Whispered breaths, a morning light on my face I pace the room, I’m counting my own grace Ode or Tunde—two names in one heartbeat I’m choosing the words that belong to me [Verse 1] I’m stepping into the mirror, I’m looking for my trace Two doors, one name, a map across my face Say it with me softly, I’m trying to learn the sound Of a voice that fits the boy who’s growing now [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who I am, before I learn to hide I’m building the chorus from the courage inside [Chorus] Ode, say my name—let it spill like sunrise Tunde, hear my drums, feel the pride in my eyes I’m not just growing tall, I’m growing true and brave I’m calling out, I am here, I’m choosing to be saved [Verse 2] Names are lanterns in the dark I light each night A promise to myself that I’ll always stand upright If you ask who I am, I’ll answer with a grin Two roots, one tree, and I’m learning how to begin [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who I am, before I learn to hide I’m building the chorus from the courage inside [Chorus] Ode, say my name—let it spill like sunrise Tunde, hear my drums, feel the pride in my eyes I’m not just growing tall, I’m growing true and brave I’m calling out, I am here, I’m choosing to be saved [Bridge] Names aren’t walls, they’re wings I’m learning to use From small and shy to loud and alive, I choose the truth [Chorus] Ode, say my name—let it spill like sunrise Tunde, hear my drums, feel the pride in my eyes I’m not just growing tall, I’m growing true and brave I’m calling out, I am here, I’m choosing to be saved [Outro] Say my name, I’m here, I’m ready to begin Two names, one heart, together we’ll win
