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
Wise words.....wise words.
We won’t be here forever.
We’re just passing through.
Of course, my story isn’t that deep.
It could be, though.
I can think deeply.
I tend to be a little quiet but you know the old saying,
“Still waters run deep and so do Alabama’s receivers.”
