Learned the gospel as a kid, ‘cause that’s what all of the good kids did. Now the good words, don’t ring true. What’s a young man to do. But this, this too shall pass.
A young couple, so full of life, now they feel so dead inside.
Fighting all night ‘bout money, try to cling to old memories.
But this, this too shall pass.
Dead end job working day by day, ‘cause there are so many bills to pay.Thought it’d just be for a while, years have passed, along with his smile. But this, this too shall pass.
Went to school with hopes and dreams, now it’s hard to pay for everything. Looking towards, years of bills, no one paying for her hard-earned skills. But this, this too shall pass.
5 to 10 for selling weed, looking towards the day that he’ll be freed.
Each day passes, like the next, no day better than the rest.
But this, this too shall pass.
Moved to Nashville to be a star, now she’s playing in a crappy bar.
Waiting for the phone to ring, all she wants, is to sing.
But this, this too shall pass.
Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, when that pain comes knocking at your door.
Sometimes bad luck goes from worse to worse, and life is like you’re living in a curse.
Every step you take through broken glass, but you know that even this will pass.
This too shall pass.
