Yet to Be

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was born on a farm, working the clay She ran off when she was sixteen Down a long country road with nowhere to go She knew that she had to leave She hopped a one-way train with a ticket to ride In the third class back with the others She watched the farm fade away, just hoping and praying She'd have a better life than her mother's [Chorus] It's a long, long way from where we've been The here and now is better than it was back then Today may break your heart, but tomorrow holds the key We've come so far, but the best is yet to be [Verse 2] He was born on the farm, but he didn't wanna stay His daddy said he was a fool So he crept away in the dead of night And got a steamer out of Liverpool Well, it's far, far away from the green fields at home To the wild Atlantic gray He was hoping for work and he prayed for the love Waiting half a world away [Chorus] It's a long, long way from where we've been The here and now is better than it was back then Today may break your heart, but tomorrow holds the key We've come so far, but the best is yet to be [Bridge] She was mopping the floor, he was working the bar It was a divine collision of the human heart It was east of her and west of him They were wishing on the same bright star And then the baby was a brand new start [Outro] In the hollow of his hand The road is rising up to meet them
