Farther a-long we’ll under-stand

D(v) Em7(vii) C(viii) Em7

We’re all just a part of the plan

D(v) A(v) B7sus B7

The “Sun of Re-ality” has dawned upon eternity

Now...

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

B7sus B7

and all mankind will live as one.

Then... [chorus]

Bmaj7 G#m7 C#m7 F#7sus

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

D A B7sus B7

The Sun of Reality has dawned upon eternity

Now... [chorus]
