Well I have stood upon the mountain<br />
I have seen the other side<br />
Wrestled with the devil<br />
I have wrestled with my pride<br />
<br />
Been down in the valley<br />
I have stood out in the rain<br />
Seen my love forsaken<br />
Felt the pleasure and the pain<br />
<br />
There's one thing that's for certain<br />
One chord that rings true<br />
Well it's a mighty world we live in<br />
But the truth is we're only passin' thru<br />
<br />
I have cried in tears of sadness<br />
I have cried in tears of joy<br />
I have found a life worth livin'<br />
From the peace within the noise<br />
<br />
I have turned my back on hatred<br />
Lyin', prejudice, and greed<br />
Found the future in the present<br />
Found hope within a seed<br />
<br />
One thing that's for certain<br />
One chord that rings true<br />
It's a mighty world we live in<br />
But the truth is we're only passin' thru<br />
<br />
Passin' thru, passin' thru<br />
It's a mighty world we live in but the truth is<br />
We're only passin' thru<br />
<br />
I have seen my bucket empty<br />
Seen my well run dry<br />
But there's water down the road<br />
And I'm only goin' by<br />
<br />
If I'm settin' on dead-ready<br />
When my chances come to knock<br />
I'll make it where I'm goin'<br />
I'll be tall just like a rock<br />
<br />
But there's one thing that's for certain<br />
One chord that rings true<br />
It's a wicked world we live in<br />
But the truth is we're only passin' thru<br />
<br />
Passin' thru, passin' thru<br />
It's a mighty world we live in but the truth is<br />
We're only passin' thru<br />
<br />
Yeah, it's a mighty world we live in but the truth is<br />
We're only passin' thru
