This life is changing by And by This world is changing by and by Plant a seed then you watch it die Where will I be by and by I'm livin' on a rock a rock that rolls And it's rollin' right over my poor soul Choose your creed by and by It's what you make it by and by Just an answer to the question why Will there be by and by Everybody keeps there faith afloat In the same old river just a different boat There's a spirit soarin' listen to the cannons roaring Everything that we're destroying now open your eyes If we share the same mother how do we kill our brother Never ever to recover just gone, gone, gone, forever A better time by and by A better place by and by Nothin' beats a failure but a try There's got to be a by and by There's gonna be a price to pay For livin' out your stoic ways
