This, Too, Will Pass
When the winds of change hit hard
and knock you off your guard
and you find out there's a serpent in the grass,
though forked tongues might speak,
if truth is what you seek,
this, too, will pass.
When you're all tied up in knots
and your friends are taking shots
and the sun comes up and kicks you in the ass.
When you're stumbling down the aisle and you feel like you're on trial,
this, too, will pass.
Sometimes you've gotta go down the middle of the road,
where compromise puts speed bumps in your path.
If you know what you want,
let no one say you don't.
This, too, will pass.
Sometimes you gotta crawl through the middle of it all,
but don't compromise your heart for something crass.
When everything you do just feels like nothing new,
this, too, will pass
When you're all locked up in pain,
be careful who you blame.
This, too, will pass
