《This Too Shall Pass》歌词

[00:00:00] This Too Shall Pass - Danny Schmidt

[00:00:42] Things change fast

[00:00:44] But this too shall pass

[00:00:46] Better carve it on your forehead

[00:00:48] Or tattoo it on your ass

[00:00:49] Cause who can tell

[00:00:52] When the clock strikes twelve

[00:00:54] If today's become tomorrow

[00:00:56] Or if it's all just gone to hell

[00:00:57] My friend makes rings

[00:00:59] She swirls and sings

[00:01:02] She's a mystic in the sense

[00:01:03] That she's still mystified by things

[00:01:05] But scared to ask

[00:01:07] How can nothing last

[00:01:09] Cause like a cancer in your body

[00:01:11] It all just goes too fast

[00:01:29] We think too big

[00:01:31] We think our self is one whole thing

[00:01:32] And we claim that this collection

[00:01:35] Has a name and is a being

[00:01:36] But deep inside

[00:01:38] When every cell divides

[00:01:40] It sets upon the rule that states

[00:01:42] Self-interest is divine

[00:01:44] Cancer too

[00:01:46] Lives by this golden rule

[00:01:48] That you must do unto the others

[00:01:50] As the others unto you

[00:01:52] All for the best

[00:01:54] Cause that's all the life accepts

[00:01:56] And so we kill it like a buffalo

[00:01:58] With awe and with respect

[00:02:16] Don't ask God

[00:02:18] Just ask the sky

[00:02:19] She'll tell it to you plainly

[00:02:21] In the clouds that whisper by

[00:02:23] And praise the shapes

[00:02:25] And then praise the way they change

[00:02:27] And they'll teach you not to pray to light

[00:02:29] Without you pray to rain

[00:02:31] So I pray to hands

[00:02:32] And I pray to needs

[00:02:35] And I pray to blades of grass

[00:02:37] To find forgiveness in the weeds

[00:02:38] But as for health

[00:02:40] I just never did believe

[00:02:42] And so I never prayed myself

[00:02:45] Except to those that prayed for me

[00:03:02] The story goes

[00:03:04] Or the way that I was told

[00:03:06] There was a king that always felt too high

[00:03:09] And then he fell too low

[00:03:10] And so he called

[00:03:12] All the wise men to the hall

[00:03:14] And begged them for a gift

[00:03:16] To end the rises and the falls

[00:03:18] And here's the thing

[00:03:20] They came back with a ring

[00:03:22] It was simple and was plainly

[00:03:24] Unbefitting of a king

[00:03:26] Engraved in black

[00:03:28] It had no front or back

[00:03:30] But there were words around

[00:03:31] The band that said

[00:03:32] Just know this too shall pass
