Farther Along Songtext
von Ray Stevens

Sometimes when death has taken a loved one
Leaving our lives so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why there are others
Paying no heed, Lord, year after year


Farther along we′ll know more about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
′Cause we'll understand it all by and by

"Till death be faithful," so says the Master
Short is our time to wonder and wait
Then will our labors seem to be nothing
When we shall pass through that heavenly gate

Farther along we'll know more about it
Farther along we′ll understand why
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine
We′ll understand it all by and by
