Tempted and tried, we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
Then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
Cheer up my brother, live in the sunshine
We'll understand it all, by and by
Faithful 'til death, said our loving Master
A few more days to labor and wait
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing
As we sweep through the beautiful gates
Repeat Chorus
The Cornshed Sisters - Farther Along (04:15)
The Cornshed Sisters at the Hera Festival covering Farther Along.
This is my theme song right now. I'm in a very ugly divorce, but i will not be broken anymore by him. I have been the sparrow for too long.

She's saying how the spirit of a woman is strong and can't be broken. I remember reading somewhere where Dolly herself said that was based on her own relationships with her mother, grandmother, and sisters.
To me, like many others have written here, this song was also used to remember a beloved grandmother, its messages fit completely.

I've been asked to sing this at a memorial service tomorrow for a special man who I made a promise to. He wanted me to sing this to his lovely wife he left behind. She is truely an eagle when she flies.
