This Too Shall Pass

Got to get something done today

Give accomplishment a shot

Might not have a full palette to use

But I'm gonna paint with the colors I've got

There're your hopes and ideals you embrace

Then there's what's staring you in the face

Sorrowful times are here but they won't last

'Cause this too shall pass

Feeling like a lazy tub o' lard

Rajneesh Jr. gave me his business card

Think I'll take the personality test

To document my fine mess this far

There're your hopes and dreams you embrace

Then there's what's staring you in the face

First place man will one day roll in last

'Cause this too shall pass

Better get on out to the starting line

They're coming soon

They're gonna fix it in time

I just want to get what's mine

Not a fortune gonna just, gonna just, love life

And this too shall pass

Do what you got to do to find a cure

For the things that make you feel so impure

Just how I don't know for sure

Sometimes misery has a strange allure

There're your hopes and ideals you embrace

Then there's what's staring you in the face

Sorrowful times are here but they won't last

'Cause this too shall pass

There are your hopes and dreams you embrace

Then there's what's staring you in the face

Sorrowful times are here but they won't last

'Cause this too shall pass
