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
