Afterwhile, afterwhile
this too shall past
afterwhile
scars will heal, you'll love again
it won't hurt you afterwhile (2x)

stuck between if and when
you prayed and tried
but still no end
God's purpose soon you'll understand
it won't hurt you afterwhile (2x)

afterwhile, afterwhile
this too shall past
afterwhile
scars will heal, you'll love again
it won't hurt you afterwhile

so when thepain has come to end
and now your heart is whole again
help someone who needs to know
that it won't hurt them afterwhile (3x)
