This Too Will Pass

Hold tight, hold hands with me
All is trouble just as far as you can see
So here we are and here we stand
So we’ll stare it down just to prove we can
And ride it out to the last
It’s true, this too will pass
Small comfort when it goes that deep
And you roll at night in fitful sleep
I’ll tell you what I know
As sure as trouble comes
Yah, trouble will go
I’ll say it though you didn’t ask
It’s true, this too will pass
Lay it down lay it down right here
All your sorrows, all your troubles and your fears
Can’t tell you how it goes this far
Or explain why it gets so damn hard
There are times that shine like jewels
And will be all the brighter for what you’ve been through
So hold those times tightly clasp
It’s true, this too will pass
So out of the darkest place
And the hardest times you’ve had to face
We’re more tender than some would believe
And we still find it hard to ask for what we need
But don’t give it up too fast
It’s true, this too will pass
It’s true, this too will pass
