Farther Along

[Verse 1]
Tempted and trying work, off made to wonder
Why it should be this all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never more less dead though and wrong

[Chorus]
Farther along where we know all about it
Farther along where we understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, bye-bye

[Verse 2]
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home-song long and dread
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

[Chorus]
Farther along where we know all about it
Farther along where we understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, bye-bye

[Verse 3]
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes from his home in the skies
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We'll understand it all, bye-bye

[Chorus]
Farther along where we know all about it
Farther along where we understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, bye-bye

[Outro]
