Learn more about this song

If I could teach you one thing, it would be this:
Nothing lasts forever, there is no lasting bliss.
In the circle of experience pain follows joy, which follows pain.
To understand this now would be your gain.

CHORUS:
Showers follow sunshine and sunshine follows rain.
What you feel today will surely one day change again.
What you believe right now may not be true next year.
The only truth you know is in this moment right here.

Fairy tales can come true, but ever after is a lie,
Love can rock your world but the passion's doomed to die.
All life's greatest blessings are mixed with bitter pain.
To understand this now would truly be your gain.

Chorus

Take care that all your promises are ones that you can keep.
Sparkling waters that fulfill today may someday prove too deep.
Remember that this too shall pass; a new dawn comes to view.
To understand this now is to embrace the future you.

Chorus

Be careful not to give away your soul for what's ahead.
Your hopes and dreams have power and will lead you when they're fed.
But even dreams can sometimes die as fresh ones spring anew.
To understand this now will help you to . . . believe in you.

Chorus
