This Too Shall Pass

I met a man, he was torn and damaged
Angered by the war
Spent his life on city streets, pockets empty
And a heart that's hungry to even up the score
Live life like there's no tomorrow
Time slips through the hourglass
Shadows cast and we feel our sorrow
This too shall pass
His tired eye's are growing dimmer
His will to fight is gone
Reflections in a window show him old and thinner
He wonders, where it all went wrong
Live life like there's no tomorrow
Sand slips through the hourglass
Shadows cast and we feel our sorrow
This too shall pass
I said the battle still remains inside you
While everyone's gone home
He looked at me and said , fear was all that he knew
But know it time that he move on
Live life like there's no tomorrow
Sand slips through the hourglass
Shadows cast and we feel our sorrow
This too shall pass
