Mark Erelli - Passing through

We are ^Gpassing this world ^Con to our ^Gkids From the ^Cmoment that they climb out of their ^Amcribs And we ^Dtry to teach them well and show them they are loved But in the ^Cend all we can do, is hope our ^Dbest is good enough For they'll ^Gwitness how this life can be so ^G7beautiful and cruel We can't ^Cshelter them forever, but if we ^C#dim7show them all the tools They might ^Dleave this place in a ^D#dim7little better ^Emshape than me and ^Cyou ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough

Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^A7only passing ^Dthrough Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough

And we've been ^Gwatching this world ^Cfrom our living ^Grooms It's been near ^Cforty years since we walked on the ^Ammoon And this ^Dbig blue ball keeps shrinking and I don't know if that's good But for ^Cbetter or for worse now, this whole ^Dworld's our neighbourhood There's ^Gno place left to run to where you can ^G7stay above the fray We all ^Clearn to need to get along and not ^C#dim7just get our way Not ^Donly for each ^D#dim7other but for our ^Emchildren's children ^Ctoo ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough

Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^A7only passing ^Dthrough Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough

I ^Gwonder sometimes ^Cwhat I will pass ^Gon And how ^Cmuch can one voice do with just a ^Amsong Sometimes in^Djustice and indifference are the only things I see But I re^Cfuse to let my hope become the ^Dlatest casualty So I'll ^Gsing of love and truth and try to ^G7practice all I preach And if ^CI can't change the world, I'll change the ^C#dim7world within my reach And what ^Dbetter place to ^D#dim7start than here and ^Emnow with me and ^Cyou ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough

Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^A7only passing ^Dthrough Passing ^Gthrough, passing ^Cthrough ^GWe are ^Donly passing ^Gthrough
