Farther Along Lyrics

Life's evenin' sun is sinkin' low.
Well, a few more days and I must go.
Whoa, to meet the deeds that I have done,
And there will be no setting sun.

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder,
Why it shouldn't be thus all the day long.
While there are others living about us,
Never more lasting, though in the wrong.(Though in the wrong.)

Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine.
We'll understand it all, by and by. (All, by and by.)

Instrumental break.

Farther along we'll know all about it.
Farther along we'll understand why.
Cheer up, my brothers, live in the sunshine.
We'll understand it all, by and by. (All, by and by.)
