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 the cross
On a hill called Calvary
I said "do you hate mankind
For what they?ve done to you?"
He said, "Talk of love not hate,
There?s things to do and it's getting late.
We?re all brothers and we are only passing through.

And I shivered with George Washington
One cold night down in Valley Forge,
I said, "George, how come these soldiers fight so,
They way they do?"
He said, "Men will suffer, and fight,
Some will even die for what they think is right
Even though they know they're 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.

So, if you see me passin? you by
And you stop there wondering why
And you wish you could do some touring too
Grab your suitcase and stick out your thumb
Thank your folks for all they?ve done
You got a whole lot of adventure
Ahead of you, passin? through
Passin? through
