Am I not a convict
A king supposin'
Wearing the mask of a jester
Cool like a lawyer
It's an old condition
Bear a few wounds
Ain't enough protection
To keep them out of view
Oh the masks I wear
Do they come between you and me

[Chorus]
Veronica, Veronica
Bearer of the image true
Truly I want to bear it too
Veronica, someday
Every day I pray
I will see Him face to face

See the man of sorrows
Of the morning commute
Like a king dispossessed
Sleeping on a stony stoop
Some of us just drive by
Some say a prayer
Some show out a dollar
Just to show thеy care
Oh the masks I wear
Do thеy come between you and me
[Chorus]
Veronica, Veronica
Bearer of the image true
Truly I want to bear it too
Veronica, someday
Every day I pray
I will see Him face to face

I'm a man in the half light
I'm a man of almost truth
So shine Your face and shine it through
I'm a man in the half light
I'm a man of almost truth
So shine Your face and shine it through

Oh the masks I wear
Do they come between you and me

[Chorus]
Veronica, Veronica
Bearer of the image true
Truly I want to bear it too
Veronica, someday
Every day I pray
I will see Him face to face
Veronica, someday
Every day I pray
I will see Him face to face
