Prayer

lyrics

Hard times will come
And hard times will go
But nothing ever lasts
As the saying goes
The one we all know,
“And this too shall pass.”

Your head may hurt
Your heart may be full
Of nothing but sorrow and pain
But nothing ever lasts
As the saying goes,
“And this too shall pass.”

Chorus:
You may feel overwhelming pleasure
You may reap what you sow
But all the joy in this world is measured
You can never hold on, so let go

Fruit can be ripe
For only so long
Before the winter comes
So savor the flavor
Enjoy it while you can
In time it too shall pass

You may find
Coal in your stocking
But it’s only once a year
The love of your life
May have sweetness in his eyes
But his eyes they too shall close

Chorus

In the time we shared
You taught me so much
You gave me a reason to love
You made me believe
You gave me a dream
I smiled again as I loved

This moment, right now
Is all we have to keep
So cherish it before it flees
My time with you
I know cannot last
I’ll love you, even as you leave

Chorus

I’m glad to know
My heart still works
It’s nice to feel again
I slept and I wept
I cried and I sighed
But at least I know I’m alive

This moment, right now
Is all we have to keep
So cherish it before it flees
My time with you
I know will not last
I’ll love you, even when you leave

Chorus
