(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1974)

From the album UNBORN CHILD (1974)

Farther along, we'll understand We're all just a part of the plan
The Sun of Reality has dawned above eternity
Now, even the desert will bloom Even the desert will bloom
Hurry oh hurry, come soon 'Cause even the desert will bloom

Farther along, we'll be at ease The world will be free of disease
The Most Great Peace will come and all mankind will live as one
And even the desert will bloom Even the desert will bloom
Hurry oh hurry, come soon 'Cause even the desert will bloom

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 so long, we are dry, 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
The Sun of Reality has dawned above eternity
Now, even the desert will bloom Even the desert will bloom
Hurry oh hurry, come soon 'Cause even the desert will bloom
