Farther Along lyrics

(We'll understand it all by and by)

[Verse 1]
Tempted and tried we're oft' made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our homes so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

[Chorus]
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
