Father Along

Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be this all day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested, though in the wrong
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
When death has come and taken our loved ones
Leaving our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder how others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
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
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
