Passing Through Songtext
von Rig the Jig

I saw Jesus on a cross
On a hill called Calvary
I said, "Do you hate mankind
For what they′ve done to you?"
Think of love, not of hate
Things to do, it's getting late
There′s 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 at 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
Sometimes happy, sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people that you saw me passing through

And I was with Washington at Valley Forge
Shivering in the rain
I said, "Why do men here suffer like they do?"
Men will suffer, men will fight
Men will die for what 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


And I was at Franklin Roosevelt′s side
On the night before he died
He said, "One world must come out of World War II
Yankee, Russian, white or tan"
He said, "A man is still a man
We're on one road
And we′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

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