Generate meaning
1
Things change fast
2
But this too shall pass
3
Better carve it on your forehead
4
Or tattoo it on your ass
5
'Cause who can tell
6
When the clock strikes twelve
7
If today's become tomorrow
8
Or if it's all just gone to hell
9
My friend makes rings
10
She swirls and sings
11
She's a mystic in the sense
12
That she's still mystified by things
13
But scared to ask
14
How can nothing last
15
'Cause like a cancer in your body
16
It all just goes too fast
17
We think too big
18
We think our self is one whole thing
19
And we claim that this collection
20
Has a name and is a being
21
But deep inside
22
When every cell divides
23
It sets upon the rule that states
24
Self-interest is divine
25
Cancer, too
26
Lives by this golden rule
27
That you must do unto the others
28
As the others unto you
29
All for the best
30
'Cause that's all the life accepts
31
And so we kill it like a buffalo
32
With awe and with respect
33
Don't ask God
34
Just ask the sky
35
She'll tell it to you plainly
36
In the clouds that whisper by
37
And praise the shapes
38
And then praise the way they change
39
And they'll teach you not to pray to light
40
Without you pray to rain
41
So I pray to hands
42
And I pray to needs
43
And I pray to blades of grass
44
To find forgiveness in the weeds
45
But as for health
46
I just never did believe
47
And so I never prayed myself
48
Except to those that prayed for me
49
The story goes
50
Or the way that I was told
51
There was a king that always felt too high
52
And then he fell too low
53
And so he called
54
All the wise men to the hall
55
And begged them for a gift
56
To end the rises and the falls
57
And here's the thing
58
They came back with a ring
59
It was simple and was plainly
60
Unbefitting of a king
61
Engraved in black
62
It had no front or back
63
But there were words around the band that said
64
Just know: This Too Shall Pass
