Passin' Thru Songtext
It′s a mighty world we live in
But the truth is,
We're only passin′ thru
Well I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
I have wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my pride
I have been down in the valley
have stood out in the rain
I have seen my love forsaken
Felt the pleasure and the pain
There's one thing that's for certain
There′s one chord that rings true
Well it′s a mighty world we live in
But the truth is, we're only passin′ thru
I have cried in tears of sadness
cried in tears of joy
I have found a life worth livin'
From the peace within the noise
I have turned my back on hatred
Lyin′, prejudice, and greed
Found the future in the present
Found hope within a seed
But there's one thing that′s for certain
There's one chord that rings true
It's a mighty world we live in
But the truth is, we′re only passin′ thru
Passin' thru, passin′ thru
It's a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We′re only passin' thru
I have seen my bucket empty
Seen my well run dry
But there′s water down the road
And I'm only goin' by
If I′m settin′ on dead-ready
When my chances come to knock
I'll make it where I′m goin'
Standing tall just like a rock
But there′s one thing that's for certain
There′s one chord that rings true
It's a wicked world we live in
But the truth is, we're only passin′ thru
Passin′ thru, passin' thru
It′s a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We're only passin′ thru
Yeah, it's a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We′re only passin' thru
I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
I have wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my pride
I have been down in the valley
I have stood out in the rain
I have seen my love forsaken
Felt the pleasure and the pain
I have cried in tears of sadness
I have cried in tears of joy
I have found a life worth livin'
From the peace within the noise
I have turned my back on hatred
Lyin′, prejudice, and greed
Found the future in the present
Found hope within a seed
I have seen my bucket empty
I have seen my well run dry
But there′s water down the road
And I'm only goin′ by
If I'm settin′ on dead-ready
When my chances come to knock
I'll make it where I′m goin'
Standing tall just like a rock
Passin' thru
Passin′ thru
It′s a mighty world we live in
But the truth is
We're only passin′ thru
But the truth is,
We're only passin′ thru
Well I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
I have wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my pride
I have been down in the valley
have stood out in the rain
I have seen my love forsaken
Felt the pleasure and the pain

It′s a mighty world we live in
But the truth is
We're only passin′ thru
