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
