Passing Through

I saw Jesus on the cross on a hill called Calvary
";Do you hate mankind for what they done to you?";
He said, ";Talk of love not hate, things to do - it's getting late.
I've so little time and I'm only passing through.";

Passing through, passing through.
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue,
glad that I ran into you.
Tell the people that you saw me passing through.

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 Ford, 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 with 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, and we're only passing through.";

Passing through, passing through ...

(let's do it one more time)

Passing through, passing through ...
