Will Understand It Better by and By - Bahamas Folk & Calypso Ensemble

Driving through West Virginia And I've seldom been thinner With that chip on my shoulder And this past year I got so much older Lookin' back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied And I wish I'd had more time Listenin' to you speak your mind Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me? Drinkin' coffee black as iron And I couldn't be much higher Without fallin' out of my chair I've been so numb for so many years Now I'm thinkin' about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? And it's so easy To be blinded by the light To feel lonely in the night This blowing in the breeze babe I got dust in my eyes And rust in my mind I'll be home come next spring Won't you say you love me later, by and by Looking back over my life Spent the most of it tongue tied Pullin' my belt tight It's just me and the stars tonight Two fingers and a tight line Keep my head above the alpine Just wish I'd had more time Listenin' to her speak her mind Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force? Thinking about her everyday On my mind atypical way Are you a life force for me?

There's a land that is fairer than day And by faith we can see it afar And the father Waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore To our bountiful father above We will offer our tributes of praise For the glorious gift of his love And the blessings that hallow our days In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by We shall meet on that beautiful shore We shall meet on that beautiful shore

Well children by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand All the ways God will lead us To the blessed promised land He will guide us with his eye And we'll follow till we die And we'll understand it better by and by Well children by and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by Temptation's hidden snares often take us unaware And our hearts are made to bleed For some thoughtless word or deed And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best But we'll understand it better by and by By and by when the morning comes All the saints of God together at home We will tell the story of how we've overcome And we'll understand it better by and by And we'll understand it better by and by

I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better It's been long enough since I caught a break Everything around me is too hard to take And all these feelings should just go away Go away Cause I've been around for a long time It should be easier by now Just give me something Oh anything I want I'll be better I vow Cause I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better Cause I've been around for a long time It should be easier by now Just give me something Oh anything I want I'll be better I vow Better than now Cause I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better I don't wanna be sad anymore I think it's about time it got a little better
