Passing Through Lyrics & Tabs by Cisco Houston
Passing Through
guitar chords lyrics
I saw Adam leave the Garden
with an apple in his hand,
"Now you're out, what are you gonna do?"
"Plant my crops and pray for rain,
think I'll raise a little cane.
I'm an orphan now, and I'm only passing through."
Chorus:
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 Jesus on that cross
on a hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what they did to you?"
He said, "Speak of love not hate,
on a hill called Calvary
"Do you hate mankind for what they did to you?"
He said, "Speak of love not hate,
there's things to do, it's growing late.
I've so little time and I'm just passing through."
Chorus:
I shivered with George Washington
at Valley Forge that day.
"Why do your 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 passing through"
Chorus:
I was at Franklin Roosevelt's side
just a while before he died,
He said, "One world must come out of World War Two.
Yankee, Russian, white or tan,
Lord, a man is just a man.
We're all brothers, and we're only passing through."
Chorus:
Well I rode with old Abe Lincoln
on that train to Gettysburg,
I asked him "What are we gonna do?"
He said "Every man must be
unconditionally free
Or there is no reason to be passing through."
Chorus:
