Farther along we´ll
know all about it
farther along we´ll
understand why
cheer up my brother (sister)
live in the sunchine
we´ll understand it by an´by
(2x)

When death has come and
taken our loved ones
leaving 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 children
live in the sunshine
we´ll understand it (ad libitum)
