about

a traditional classic. Composed by Charles albert Tindley. Gary changed some of the words to fit his vision.

lyrics

We are tossed and driven on
The restless sea of time
Somber skies and howling tempests
Often hide the bright sunshine
In the land of perfect day
When the mist had rolled away
We'll understand it better by and by

By and by
Oh when the morning comes
When the saints of life have gathered home
We'll tell the story of how we've overcome
And understand it better by and by

We are often destitute
Of the things that life demands
Want of food and want of shelter
Can undo the honest man
We are trusting in the love
From within and from above
Oh we'll understand it better by and by

By and by
Oh when the morning comes
When the saints of life have gathered home
We'll tell the story of how we've overcome
And we'll understand it better by and by

Trials dark on every hand
And we can not understand
All the ways our heart will lead us
To the blessed and promised land
When love guides us with it's eyes
And we follow till we die
And understand it better by and by

Oh by and by
Oh when the day is done
When the saints of life have gathered home
We will tell the story of how we've overcome
And understand it better by and by
Oh understand it better by and by

Gary Floyd is a legend. He means so much to me. I have a theory that every punk wants to be a cowboy. The realest are. These songs are incredible and we are lucky to have them. ixepex

Thank you for your music, Kelley. It fills me with such joy. This one is very Stiff Records, which is a good thing indeed. Perfect soundtrack for my Saturday nights. Choosing my fave track is like choosing between your fave children. I vote 'Low Resolution' because of the Iggy vibes. And Iggy is a good thing, doll face. Brendan Long
