This Too Shall Pass Songtext
von Jamestown Revival

I gave away my secret to a talkative man
Left me on the corner with an empty hand feeling low
Nowhere to go

I gave away my money for a ticket to ride
Took the wrong stop, sat down on the side of the road
Nowhere to go

I called up my father
Said "What have I done?"
I need resolution
Somewhere to run

He said, "I′ve been in your shoes
"Just another day got to pay your dues
"There hard times won't be your last
"Trust me when I say this too shall pass"

I tried to find the reason I been living this way
Feeling so uneasy at the end of the day
Oh I know
I′ve got to let go


Tried to find a way to feel human again
My tired coat of armor been wearing thin and it shows
I've got to let go

I talked to my mother
Said "What do I do?"
My constitution
Is yearning for truth

She said, "I've been in your shoes
"Just another day got to pay your dues
"This heavy heart won′t be your last
"Truth me when I say this too shall pass"

I tell you, my brother, if you only knew
Beyond the horizon′s a beautiful view
And if you keep moving, you're gonna find
Maybe you′re doing, you're doing fine, doing fine

You see, I′ve been in your shoes
Just another day got to pay your dues
Hard times won't be your last
Truth me when I say this too
This too
This too
This too shall pass
