Farther along weââ¬â¢ll know all about it
Farther along weââ¬â¢ll understand why
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
Weââ¬â¢ll understand this, all by and by
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves emââ¬â¢ both
Weââ¬â¢re all cast-aways in need of ropes
Hanginââ¬â¢ on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions Iââ¬â¢ve seen
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every of the song
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
Leading mice and men down to their fates
But some will courageously escape
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
While walkinââ¬â¢ that line back home
So much more to life than weââ¬â¢ve been told
Itââ¬â¢s full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
Go down into the river and let it run
And wash away all the things youââ¬â¢ve done
Forgiveness alright
Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightinââ¬â¢ for my soul
And Iââ¬â¢ve got no place left go
Cause I got changed by what Iââ¬â¢ve been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblinââ¬â¢ on
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
Iââ¬â¢m free to love once and for all
And even when I fall Iââ¬â¢ll get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levee and my bluff
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
That the son of God is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, weââ¬â¢re the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon
