This Too Shall Pass
Pine trees
Sway in the breeze
You've been wondering
How some stand
My hands are cracked
I keep the stories in the
Back shed
Back of my head
Life's a hurricane
And we’re caught in the storm
My heart has been torn
Weathered and worn
You've seen it
You've seen through it too
I’m looking at my life
Through a window
And my eyes are swollen
And teary
But there's no rest for the
Weak
No rest for the
Weary
So will you walk with me?
Will you run with me?
When the air gets colder
And when we all get older
I see it in your face
You see it in mine
So you can make money
But you can’t make time
So make the best with
What we've got
Because what's gone is gone
What's lost is lost
