(Verse 1) When the shadows start to lengthen, and the path is hard to see, When the burden on your shoulders feels too heavy for you to be. The clock keeps turning slowly, every moment drags along, And you wonder if the daylight will ever sing its song. But listen close, dear traveler, to the truth the wise ones keep, A simple, soothing whisper, for the worries that you weep: (Chorus) Hold fast, hold on, your strength is deep inside, The storm won't last forever, just watch the turning tide. The pain you feel, the darkness near, the struggle and the fray, Take a breath and whisper, "And this too shall pass away." (Verse 2) Maybe a mistake was made, a goal you couldn't reach, Or silent, lonely hours taught a heavy, quiet speech. You might feel like the ocean has pulled you far below, That the seeds you planted carefully will never start to grow. But every single season has its time to fade and yield, The wound that hurts the deepest is the soonest to be healed. (Chorus) Hold fast, hold on, your strength is deep inside, The storm won't last forever, just watch the turning tide. The pain you feel, the darkness near, the struggle and the fray, Take a breath and whisper, "And this too shall pass away." (Bridge) Look back at all the battles you have already overcome, The mountains you have climbed before the rising of the sun. This moment is a chapter, not the ending of your tale, The next page holds a new path, with a fresh and steady sail. It's just a fleeting moment, held within infinity, The current situation is not your destiny. (Chorus) Hold fast, hold on, your strength is deep inside, The storm won't last forever, just watch the turning tide. The pain you feel, the darkness near, the struggle and the fray, Take a breath and whisper, "And this too shall pass away." (Outro) So lift your head, keep moving, trust the light that shines within, A brighter dawn is waiting for the place where this one ends. And this too shall pass... Yes, this too shall pass.
