(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1974)

From the album UNBORN CHILD (1974). 



Farther along, we'll understand. We're all just a part of the plan.

The Sun of Reality has dawned above eternity.

Now, even the desert will bloom. Even the desert will bloom.

Hurry oh hurry, come soon. 'Cause even the desert will bloom.



Farther along, we'll be at ease. The world will be free of disease.

The Most Great Peace will come and all mankind will live as one.

And even the desert will bloom. Even the desert will bloom.

Hurry oh hurry, come soon. 'Cause even the desert will bloom.



So let your sweet rain fall on me, for I am dying.

We're desert people and we're in pain, but we're still trying.

We've been down so long, we are dry, we are thirsty.

So you see the rain we must have, is the tears you shed long ago.



Farther along, we'll find our way, through all of the darkness today.

The Sun of Reality has dawned above eternity.

Now, even the desert will bloom. Even the desert will bloom.

Hurry oh hurry, come soon. 'Cause even the desert will bloom.
