Well I have stood upon the mountain I have seen the other side Wrestled with the devil I have wrestled with my pride Been down in the valley I have stood out in the rain Seen my love forsaken Felt the pleasure and the pain There's one thing that's for certain 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 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 One thing that's for certain 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' I'll be tall just like a rock But there's one thing that's for certain 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
