Emmylou Harris - Farther Along lyrics

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder Why it should be thus all day long While there are others living about us Never molested though in the wrong When d**h has come and taken our loved ones It leaves our home so lonely and drear Then do we wonder why others prosper Living so wicked year after year Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine We'll understand it all, by and by Faithful 'til d**h, said our loving Master A few more days to labor and wait Toils of the road will then seem as nothing As we sweep through the beautiful gates
