Soft

[Chorus] Farther along we’ll know all about it Farther along we’ll understand why So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine We’ll understand this, all by and by [Verse 1] Tempted and tried, I wondered why The good man dies, the bad man thrives And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both We’re all cast-aways in need of rope Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope In a house of mirrors full of smoke Confusing illusions I’ve seen Where did I go wrong, I sang along To every chorus of the song That the devil wrote like a piper at the gate Leading mice and men down to their fate But some will courageously escape The seductive voice with a heart of faith While walkin’ the line back home There's so much more to life than we’ve been told It’s full of beauty that will unfold And shine like you struck gold my wayward son That deadweight burden weighs a ton Go down to the river and let it run And wash away all the things you’ve done Forgiveness, alright [Chorus] Farther along we’ll know all about it Farther along we’ll understand why So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine We’ll understand this, all by and by [Verse 2] But still I get hard pressed on every side Between the rock and a compromise Like truth and a pack of lies fightin’ for my soul And I’ve got no place left go Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown There's more glory than the world has known Keeps me ramblin’ on Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall I’m free to love once and for all And even when I fall I’ll get back up For the joy that overflows my cup Heaven filled me with more than enough Broke down my levees and my bluffs Let the flood wash me And one day when the sky rolls back on us Some rejoice and the others fuss Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess The Son of God is forever blessed His is the Kingdom, and we’re the guests So put your voice up to the test Sing Lord, come soon [Chorus] Farther along we’ll know all about it Farther along we’ll understand why So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine We’ll understand this, all by and by
