Passin' Thru

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have stood upon the mountainÂ

I have seen the other sideÂ

I have wrestled with the devilÂ

I have wrestled with my prideÂ

I have been down in the valleyÂ

I have stood out in the rainÂ

I have seen my love forsakenÂ

Felt the pleasure and the painÂ

There's one thing that's for certainÂ

One chord that rings trueÂ

It's a mighty world we live inÂ

But the truth is, we're only passin' thruÂ

I have cried in tears of sadnessÂ

I have cried in tears of joyÂ

I have found a life worth livin'Â

From the peace within the noiseÂ

I have turned by back on hatredÂ

Lyin', prejudice and greedÂ

Found the future in the presentÂ

Found hope within a seedÂ

There's one thing that's for certainÂ

One chord that rings trueÂ

It's a mighty world we live inÂ

But the truth is, we're only passin' thruÂ

Passin' thru, passin' thruÂ

It's a mighty world we live inÂ

but the truth isÂ

We're only passin' thruÂ

I have seen my bucket emptyÂ

I have seen my well run dryÂ

But there's water down the roadÂ

And I'm only goin' byÂ

If I'm settin' on dead readyÂ

When my chances come and knockÂ

I'll make it where I'm goingÂ

I'll be tall just like a rockÂ

There's one thing that's for certainÂ

One chord that rings trueÂ

It's a wicked world we live inÂ

But the truth is, we're only passin' thruÂ

Passin' thru, passin' thruÂ

It's a mighty world we live inÂ

but the truth isÂ

We're only passin' thruÂ

Yea, it's a mighty world we live inÂ

but the truth isÂ

We're only passin' thru
