This too shall pass...

"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 beat 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

Been doing my best to move on
but the pain just keeps singing me songs

My head and my heart are at war cause love ain't happening the way I want it...

All of a sudden I realized
that it only hurts worst to fight it
So I embrace my shadow and hold on to the morning light

this too shall pass..." - India Arie
