This Too Shall Pass

Won’t you love me like a mountain stands, 
so steady and so strong
And I will be unmoving, 
because a lifetime ain’t so long

But I don’t pretend
To know where we’re going, only where we've been 
And oh this life goes so fast
And like a dream it too shall pass

So I went to ask the river, to teach me her dance 
And so I keep on moving, towards that open expanse

But I can’t pretend, to know where I’m going, 
only where I’ve been and oh this life goes so fast
And like a dream it too shall pass

So let me love you like the mountain stands, 
so steady and so strong 
And I will be unmoving ‘cos a lifetime ain’t so long.
