I saw CJesus on the cross on a Fhill called CalvaCry
"Do you hate mankind for what they done to Gyou?"
He said, C"Talk of love not hate, things to Fdo - it's getting Clate.
I've so little time and I'm Gonly passing Cthrough."

CPassing through, passing through.
Sometimes happy, sometimes C7blue,
glad that FI ran into Cyou.
Tell the people that you Gsaw me passing Cthrough.

I saw Adam leave the Garden with an apple in his hand,
I said "Now you're out, what are you going to do?"
"Plant some crops and pray for rain, maybe raise a little cane.
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through."

Passing through, passing through ...

I was with Washington at Valley Forge, shivering in the snow.
I said, "How come the men here suffer like they do?"
"Men will suffer, men will fight, even die for what is right
even though they know they're only passing through"

Passing through, passing through ...

I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side on the night before he died.
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two" (ah, the fool)
"Yankee, Russian, white or tan," he said, "A man is still a man.
We're all on one road, we're only passing through."

Passing through, passing through ...

(let's do it one more time)

Passing through, passing through ...
