Farther a-long we’ll under-stand

We’re all just a part of the plan
D(v) A(v) B7sus4 B7
The “Sun of Re-ality” has dawned upon eternity
Now...
CHORUS
Even the desert will bloom
Even the desert will bloom
Hurry, oh hurry, come soon
‘cause even the desert will bloom
Farther a-long we’ll be at ease
The world will be free from disease
The Most Great Peace will come
and all mankind will live as one.
Then... [chorus]
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 for so long--We are dry and 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 upon eternity
Now... [chorus]
