Well I’m a son of coal, a daughter of tar
From the dust you came, from the dust you are
We’re not beautiful, not yet, oh young heart
Yeah, the rain has yet to fall and make mud of my scars

Well so soon my heart will know
You
Without a veil between us
I’ll see your face and become like you

Well I’m the son of a woman, the daughter of man
From the dust you came, from the dust I am
We’re not home, not yet, o that distant land
Yeah, we’ve still a few roads left to travel without the sight of your hand

Yeah, so soon my heart will know
You
Without a veil between us
I’ll see your face and become like you, like you
I'll see your face and become like you

Well I’m a son of the valley, the daughter of fear
From the dust we’re raised and from the dust we’re reared
We’re not whole, not yet, o but we’re drawing near
There’s still a few hours left tonight before the Sun dries our tears
Yeah, there’s still a few hours left tonight before the Sun dries our tears

So soon my heart will know
You
Without a veil between us
I’ll see your face and become like you
