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
