Ray Stevens - Farther Along Lyrics

Ray Stevens Lyrics

"Farther Along"

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

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

Till death be faithful, so says the master
Short is our time to wonder and wait
Then will our neighbors sing to be nothing
When we shall pass through a heavenly gate

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