[Instrumental intro] Hmmmm Hmmmm----~~~ [Verse 1] When the chaos of the world Surrounds your waking moments And it’s turmoil Holds you in its fist. What’s the secret to mastering silence? To melt the heart of stone? To temper its defiance? You’re on the edge of breaking–~~ The ground beneath you---- is shaking! Will you run—? Will you fight—-? Will you hold on----- Until the morning light--------? (This too shall pass-----) [Soaring Chorus] It’s only for a moment, only for a season----- Everything happens For its own reasons------ Some things we’ll never know. Some things we can’t explain. Some things we hold forever Despite it causing pain. The bad times seem to last so long, and the good times go too fast, But nothing lasts forever----~~~ This too shall----- pass----~~ Oh—~~ Hmmmm Mmmmm----- [Verse 2] We’re never quite certain (Oh---- no—) Of how it’ll all end. Of how men turn into monsters And monsters become men. Oh—~~~~~ Your faith is something precious Don’t let it fail you now------ When you feel you can’t go on Stay strong-----, you’ll make it out somehow. Healing can be terrifying, and it can be freeing-~ But the soul can be restored–~~ And in the end you’ll still be standing-------- [Soaring Chorus] It’s only for a moment, only for a season----- Everything happens For its own reasons------ Some things we’ll never know. Some things we can’t explain. Some things we hold forever Despite it causing pain. The bad times seem to last so long, and the good times go too fast, But nothing lasts forever----~~~ This too shall----- pass----~~ Oh—~~ Hmmmm Mmmmm----- Oh------ Huh-------- [Chorus outro] It’s only for a moment, only for a season----- Everything happens For its own reasons------ Some things we’ll never know. Some things we can’t explain. Some things we hold forever Despite it causing pain. The bad times seem to last so long, and the good times go too fast, But nothing lasts forever----~~~ This too shall----- pass----~~ Oh—~~ Hmmmm Mmmmm----- Oh------ Huh-------- Oooo—~~~---- [Instrumental outro]
