Select language to translate this lyric
These things shall pass
and some great morning
we'll look back
and smile at heartaches
we have known
so don't forget
when shadows gather
the lord above is still the king
upon his throne
a rose looks gray at midnight
but the flame is just asleep
and steel is strong
because it knew
the hammer and white heat
these things shall pass
and life be sweeter
when love and faith are strong
they cannot long endure
these things shall pass
so don't you worry
the darkest time
is just one hour before dawn
so hold up high
and face your troubles
and don't dispair
if you must face them all alone
a rose looks gray at midnight
but the flame is just asleep
and steel is strong
because it knew
the hammer and white heat
these things shall pass
and life be sweeter
when love and faith are strong
they cannot long endure
