It'll be a long time coming   It's part of life I don't like   Saying goodbye to old friends   And the end of life   And what we know   It'll be a long time coming, boy   Till we meet again      Well it's time to say goodbye   And all the things we've said and cried   Through our lives   You will be on my lips   It'll be a long time coming, boy   Till we meet again      Into the earth we go and we dive   Into the spirit world      Where our hearts lie   We go down into the sea   Of eternal life   They say there is a light   And we're freed, some say      We will find a better place, they say   Some day   We will finally meet some day   We will sing in joy   We will sing amazing grace   And say we loved to know   Long time coming, a long time   Will come some day   We will meet on that glorious day   Long time coming, a long time   It'll come some day
