This Too Shall Pass

Today is not an ordinary day
Today I don’t need to be on time
Today I won’t hear the sound of laughter
Or a school bus going by
Life going on

Today is not an ordinary day
Today is a day to stay in bed
I won’t bother with the TV
‘Cause the only thing I’ll see is a map
With a count
Of those who are gone

But this too shall pass they say
This too shall pass they say
Just not today

Today is not an ordinary day
I don’t usually cry this much
Today I see boxes filled with food and medication piling up
And these vitamins
They recommend

Today is not an ordinary day
Today everyone is leaving town
People are in masks just like some science fiction movie
But it’s real
And we don’t know
How it will end

But this too shall pass they say
This too shall pass they say
Just not today

One day you arе flying high
One day you can see it all
But one day it can disappear
Onе day you can fall

Today is not an ordinary day
Today I have nowhere to be
Today is how I know I’ll feel tomorrow
And the day after that (and the day after that)
And the day after that (and the day after that)
And the day after that (after that)

But this too shall pass they say
This too shall pass they say
This too shall pass they say
Just not today
Just not today
Just not today
