This Too Shall Pass - Phyllis Hyman

This too shall pass away

The longest night becomes the day

Hold up your head and say

This too shall pass away

Sometimes I’m frighten of what I’ll discover

Sometimes I feel like I’m always passed over

Sometimes I think I won’t find my place in the sun

When there’s no refugee in sleeping

When I am so close to weeping

Then I remember the truth I was told by someone

This too shall pass away

The longest night becomes the day

Hold up your head and say

This too shall pass away

Whoa this too shall pass away

Whoa this too shall pass away

Sometimes you tell me you’re weary in spirit

Sometimes you cry out and no one can hear it

People you trust can sometimes be strangely unkind

Though you are caught up in grieving

Though you could give up believing

Don’t you lose sight of the answer you helped me to find

This too shall pass away

The longest night becomes the day

Hold up your head and say

This too shall pass away

This too shall pass away

Out of the darkness whoa, whoa, whoa

The clouds will always part the moment faith is in your heart

So let me hear you say

This too shall pass away

Shall pass away

This too shall pass away

If you believe the truth will set you free

So let me hear you let me hear you say

This too shall pass away

Remember truth was told by someone

This too shall pass away

And you’re weary in spirit

God will hear it

If you believe it will be free

Yes it will be free
