Farther along well know all about it
Farther along well understand why
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
Well 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 em both
Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions Ive seen
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every chorus 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 walkin that line back home
So much more to life than weve been told
Its full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
And wash away all the things youve done
Forgiveness alright
(Chorus)
Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul
And Ive got no place left go
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin on
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
Im free to love once and for all
And even when I fall Ill 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, were the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon
(Chorus)
