Sometime W ell Understand
Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the Better Land, W ell read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, we'll understand.
We'll catch the broken threads again And finish what we here began; Heav'n will the mysteries explain, And then, ah then, we'll understand.
God knows the way, He holds the key, He guides us with unerring hand; Sometimes with tearless eyes we'll see; Yes, there, up there, we'll understand.
