Lyrics by Lorraine Feather

(recorded by Phyllis Hyman)

This too shall pass away
The longest night becomes the day
Hold up your head and say
This too shall pass away

Sometimes I'm frightened of what I'll discover
Sometimes I feel like I'm always passed over
Sometimes I think I won't find my place in the sun
When there's no refuge in sleeping
When I am so close to weeping
Then I remember a truth I was told by someone

This too shall pass away
The longest night becomes the day
Hold up your head and say
This too shall pass away

Sometimes you tell me you're weary in spirit
Sometimes you cry out and no one can hear it
People you trust can sometimes be strangely unkind
Though you are caught up in grieving
Though you could give up believing
Don't you lose sight of the answer you helped me to find

This too shall pass away
The longest night becomes the day
Hold up your head and say
This too shall pass away

The clouds will always part
The moment faith is in your heart
So let me hear you say
This too shall pass away
