YET TO BE
(Rhiannon Giddens/Marcus Hummon)

She was born on a farm 
Working the clay 
She ran off when she was 16 
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 

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 

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

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 

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 

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 

In the hollow of his hand
The road is rising up to meet them
