Time after time, I fell by the wayside

Problems consumed me, I couldn't even see my way out

And decisions I made, blew up in my face, now I gotta suffer

'Cause I shouldn't have even been doing that in the first place

And that's one thing I like about trouble

Is trouble can't always last

So, hold on, be steadfast

'Cause this too, this too shall pass (this too shall pass)

This too (and this too, this too), it's gonna pass (shall pass), if you hold on (hold on)

Be steadfast (be steadfast), it's gonna pass (and this too, this too), oh my (shall pass)

Repeat it, this too (miss you), it's gonna pass (shall pass), this too (and this too, this too shall pass)

Hold on (hold on), be steadfast (be steadfast), and this too, oh my (and this too, this too shall pass)

See, time after time, I gave my heart away

Just to be lied to, hurt and betrayed

And I still gotta sing, with a smile on my face

Now, everybody's laughin' and they're pointin' at me

But they don't know God's plan

Their eyes can't see

So I'll just hold on, be steadfast

'Cause this too, it's gonna pass

It's gonna pass, oh my, oh my (this too, this too shall pass)

Hold on, be steadfast (be steadfast), it's gonna pass, I gotta move this (this too)

(This too shall pass), I've been lied on, I've been cheated (pass)

I've been talked about (pass) and I've even been mistreated

I've been misunderstood, and I've been labeled (pass)

I've been categorized, and I've been stereotyped (pass)

See, I'm hurtin', it's hard but I'm, I got to give God some (this too shall pass)

I got haters but I (smile), see, I can't throw in

He'll make a way (somehow), Good Almighty

Oh, I've been broke without and I can't lose my, I'm still (this too shall pass)

It's gonna pass, gonna all be over, it's gonna pass

Good God Almighty, bye bye heartaches

I'll wave bye-bye to pain

No more trouble, it's gotta pass (this too shall pass)

Said it never put more on me

Than I can bear, it's gotta pass

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Pass, oh, pass, it's gotta pass (this too shall pass)

Oh my, it may be stormy right now

Maybe cloudy right now

But you gotta see, the light at the end of the tunnel (this too shall pass)

Pass, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, it's gotta pass

This too (this too shall pass), gotta pass (pass), gotta pass (pass)

Yes, it will, yes, it will, I believe it will
