This too shall pass

This Too Shall Pass Lyrics

The storm rolls in, the sky turns grey,
I hold my breath and curse the day.
But every shadow slips away
This too shall pass, they always say.

The fire fades, the fever cools,
I break the glass, rebuild the rules.
What hurt like hell, what made me kneel
Becomes a scar that helps me heal.

This too shall pass—the good, the pain,
The sun, the flood, the drought, the rain.
I’ll laugh again, I’ll cry again,
But nothing stays, and that’s the gain.
So love the highs, forgive the lows
Each wave recedes, each season goes.
Take it all in, let it amass
And then release it… this too shall pass.
And I will rise I will surpass
This too shall pass, this too will pass

I hold someone, the light is gold,
Their touch is warm, the story bold.
But even joy won’t always stay
So I feel it deep before it fades.

The mirror shifts, the years are kind,
Or maybe cruel, but never blind.
I’ll change my shape, my voice, my name
But I’ll be me beneath the frame

This too shall pass—the good, the pain,
The sun, the flood, the drought, the rain.

I’ll laugh again, I’ll cry again,
I’ll laugh again, I’ll cry again,
But nothing stays and that’s the gain
So I love the highs, forgive the lows
Each wave recedes, each season goes.
Take it all in, let it amass and then release it
I will rise and I will surpass
This too shall pass…
This too will pass…
So I take a breath, embrace the now
I’ll lose it soon, but I know how
To live inside each moment’s glass…
And whisper gently:
This too shall pass,
This too will pass…
And I will be even stronger.
