This Too Shall Pass

I gave away my secret to a talkative man

Left me on the corner with an empty hand feelin' low

Nowhere to go

I gave away my money for a ticket to ride

Took the wrong stop, sat down on the side of the road

Nowhere to go

I called up my father

Said, "What have I done?"

I need resolution

Somewhere to run

He said, "I've been in your shoes

Just another day, got to pay your dues

And these hard times won't be your last

Trust me when I say, this too shall pass"

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

I tried to find the reason I been livin' this way

Feelin' so uneasy at the end of the day

Oh, I know

I've got to let go

Tryna find a way to feel human again

My tired coat of armor been wearin' thin

And it shows

I've got to let go

I talked to my mother

Said, "What do I do?"

My constitution

Is yearnin' for truth

She said, "I've been in your shoes

Just another day, got to pay your dues

This heavy heart won't be your last

Trust me when I say, this too shall pass"

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

I tell you, my brother

If only you knew

Beyond the horizon

It's a beautiful view

And if you keep movin'

You're gonna find

Maybe you're doin'

You're doin' fine, doin' fine

You see, I've been in your shoes

Just another day, got to pay your dues

And these hard times won't be your last

Trust me when I say, this too

This too, this too

This too shall pass

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)
