Passin' Through

[Recycled from 13:01, 26 December 2004]

(Chorus)
Passin' through, passin' through
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue, glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that they're only passin' through

I saw Jesus on the cross, on that hill called Calvary
"Do ya hate mankind for what they done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love, not hate, things to do, it's gettin' late
I've so little time, I'm only passin' through

I shivered with George Washington one night at Vally Forge
"Why do the soldiers freeze here like they do?"
He said "Men will suffer, fight, even die for what is right
Even though they know they're only passin' through"

I rode with Yuri Gagarin, alone above the Earth
"You're far from home, now what's in this for you?"
"We must rise above our fear, step out on this new frontier
There's no stopping here, we're still just passin' through"

//The Magic 8-Ball says, "That's one way to put it".\\
