Afterwhile, afterwhile
This too shall pass, afterwhile
Scars will heal, you'll love again
It won't hurt you, afterwhile
It won't hurt you, afterwhile

Stuck between if and when
You prayed, you tried, but still no end
God's purpose soon you'll understand
It won't hurt you, afterwhile
It won't hurt you, afterwhile

Afterwhile, afterwhile
This too shall pass, afterwhile
Scars will heal, you'll love again
It won't hurt, afterwhile

So when the pain has come to end
And now your heart is whole again
Help someone who needs to know
That it won't hurt, then afterwhile
It won't hurt, then afterwhile
It won't hurt, then afterwhile
