For the Time Being
Vira Talisa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music will solve
A heart that is troubled
And time would only soothe
What has been hurt
For the time being
You may have to learn
Even in the darkest road
A light begins to shine

For you might have heard
This time you must reckon
For you might have seen
This time you must believe

So hold onto what's good
When the bad wounds you
Hold onto what's brave
When the pain frightens you

And those who've been faithful
Would always remember
That the cold air would make them
Wise and kinder
And for the time being
We all got to learn
Even in the deepest sorrow
A hope begins to rise

For you might have heard
This time you must reckon
For you might have seen
This time you must believe

So hold onto what's good
When the bad wounds you
Hold onto what's brave
When the pain frightens you

Stay and you may find
A glimpse of the rising sun
And there's no need to run

For you might have heard
This time you must reckon
For you might have seen
This time you must believe
For you might have heard
This time you must reckon
For you might have seen
This time you must believe

So hold onto what's good
When the bad wounds you




Hold onto what's brave
When the pain frightens you
