Joan Osborne - Passin' Thru Lyrics

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 

There's 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 

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 by back on hatred 
Lyin', prejudice and greed 
Found the future in the present 
Found hope within a seed 

There's 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 
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 and knock 
I'll make it where I'm going 
I'll be tall just like a rock 

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 

Yea, it's a mighty world we live in 
but the truth is 
We're only passin' thru
