This Too Will Pass

You signed the papers

Now you’re a free man

You’d give yourself a party

If you gave a damn

You stood your ground on shifting sand

And it all adds up to what

Well life goes on brother

Like it or not

And it hurts like hell

When the pain won’t stop

This too shall pass

You got a ton of advice

You can take it or leave it

You say you’re getting’ better

But you don’t believe it

You spend your days

Just prayin’ and breathin’

But night’s another thing

Youre standi’ on the corner

Watchin’ street lights change

You wish to God you could do the same

This too shall pass

You tell yourself

This can’t be real

Be strong, be tough

And you won’t feel it

Tell your story

Till you can’t tell it no more

You haven’t a clue

Which way you’re gonna land

But the good news is

It’s outta your hands

‘N pretty soon now

You’re gonna understand

Cause love just kicked your ass

This too shall pass

Got your worries and your fears

And the rain come a pourin’

Troubles got you down

On your knees at last

Don’t you worry ‘bout the tears

They’ll be gone by the morning

Everything will eventually pass

Oh I believe you’ll find

Like everything in time

This too shall pass

It’s the dark of the night

It’s the birth of the king

It’s the end of an era

The dawn of a dream

Rivers don’t run

Without any rain

Babies ain’t born without no pain

There ain’t no loss

Without some gain

This too shall pass
