When the winds of change hit hard and knock you off your guard And you find out there's a serpent in the grass Though forked tongues might speak if truth is what you seek This too will pass When you're all tied up in knots and your friends are taking shots And the sun comes up and kicks you in the ass When you're stumbling down the aisle and you feel like you're on trial This too will pass Sometimes you've gotta go down the middle of the road Where compromise puts speed bumps in your path If you know what you want let no one say you don't This too will pass Sometimes you gotta crawl through the middle of it all But don't compromise your heart for something crass When everything you do just feels like nothing new This too will pass When you're all locked up in pain be careful who you blame This too will pass
