Well I have stood upon the mountain
I have seen the other side
Wrestled with the devil
I have wrestled with my prideBeen down in the valley
I have stood out in the rain
Seen my love forsaken
Felt the pleasure and the painThere'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' thruI 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 noiseI have turned my back on hatred
Lyin', prejudice, and greed
Found the future in the present
Found hope within a seedOne 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' thruPassin' thru, passin' thru
It's a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We're only passin' thruI have seen my bucket empty
Seen my well run dry
But there's water down the road
And I'm only goin' byIf 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 rockBut 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' thruPassin' thru, passin' thru
It's a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We're only passin' thruYeah, it's a mighty world we live in but the truth is
We're only passin' thru
