Farther along



We'll know more about it



Farther along



We'll understand why



Cheer up, my brothers



Who sleep with no mercy



We'll understand it



By and by



Sometimes I sit



Lonely and wonder



Why should we struggle



Why even try



When all we win



Is another tomorrow



Another tomorrow



To fight 'til we die



Farther along



We'll know more about it



Farther along



We'll understand why



Cheer up, my brothers



Who sleep with no mercy



We'll understand it



By and by



Young dreams grow old



Some battered and broken



What shone like bright stars



Were just holes in the sky



Tomorrow's a new day



And we're getting older



Why should we bother



To understand why?



Farther along



We'll know more about it



Farther along



We'll understand why



Cheer up, my brother



Who sleeps with no mercy



We'll understand it



By and by



We'll understand it



By and by



We'll understand it



By and by
