Act I: It Takes Two

You've changed
You're daring
You're different in the woods
More sure
More sharing
You're getting us through the woods

If you could see
You're not the man who started
And much more open hearted
Than I knew you to be

It takes two
I thought one was enough
It's not true
It takes two of us
You came through
When the journey was rough, it took you
It took two of us

It takes care
It takes patience and fear and despair to change
You swear to change
You can tell if you do
It takes two

You've changed
You're thriving
There's something about the woods
Not just surviving
You're blossoming in the woods
At home I fear
We'd stay the same forever
And then, out here
You're passionate, charming, considerate, clever

It takes one
To begin, but then once you've begun
It takes two of you
It's no fun
But what needs to be done, you can do
When there's two of you
If I dare
It's because I'm becoming aware of us
As a pair of us
Each accepting a share
Of what's there

We've changed
We're strangers
I'm meeting you in the woods
Who minds what dangers?
I know we'll get past the woods
And once we're past
Let's hope the changes last
Beyond woods
Beyond witches and slippers and hoods
Just the two of us
Beyond lies
Safe at home with our beautiful prize
Just the few of us

It takes trust
It takes just a bit more and we're done
We want four
We had none
We've got three
We need one
It takes two
