Passin' Thru Lyrics - Don Henley

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
