India Arie – This Too Shall Pass lyrics

I've achieved so much in life, but I'm an amateur in love
My bank account is doing just fine,
But my emotions are bankrupt
My body is nice and strong, but my heart is in a million pieces
When the sun is shining, so am I
But when night falls, so do my tears

Sometimes the fear is so loud in my heart
That I can barely tell our voices apart
Sometimes the fear is so loud in my head,
That I can barely hear what God says

But then I hear a whisper that, "This, too, shall pass"
I hear the angels whisper that, "This, too, shall pass"
My ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
So I walk in faith that this, too, shall pass

The one that loved me the most
Turned around and hurt me the worst
I'm doing my best to move on
But the pain just keeps singing me a song
My head and my heart are at war
'Cause love ain't happening the way I wanted
Feel like I'm about to break down
Can't view the light at the end of the tunnel

It's when I pray for healing in my heart
To be put back together, what is torn apart
And I pray for quiet in my head
That I can hear clearly what God says

Then I hear a whisper that, "This, too, shall pass"
I hear the angels whisper that, "This, too, shall pass"
My ancestors whisper that this day will one day be the past
So I walk in faith that this, too, shall pass

All of a sudden I realize that it only hurts worse to fight it
So I embrace my shadow, and hold onto the morning light

This, too, shall pass... This, too, shall pass...
This, too, shall pass
This, too, shall pass
This, too, shall pass... This, too, shall pass...
This, too, shall pass

I hear the angels whisper that trouble don't have to last always
I hear the angels whisper:
Even the day after tomorrow will one day be yesterday
I hear my angels whisper
I hear my angels whisper: This, too, shall pass.
