What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
We are passing this world on to our kids
2
From the moment that they climb out of their cribs
3
We try to teach them well
4
And show them they are loved
5
But in the end all we can do
6
Is hope our best is good enough
7
For they'll witness how this life
8
Can be so beautiful and cruel
9
We can't shelter them forever
10
But if we show them all the tools
11
They might leave this place in
12
A little better shape than me and you
13
We are only passing through
14
Passing through
15
Passing through
16
We are only passing through
17
Passing through
18
Passing through
19
We are only passing through
20
We've been watching this world from our living rooms
21
It's been near 40 years since we walked on the moon
22
And this big blue ball keeps shrinking
23
And I don't know if that's good
24
But for better or for worse now
25
This whole world's our neighborhood
26
There's no place left to run to
27
Where you can stay above the fray
28
We all learn to need to get along
29
And not just get our way
30
Not only for each other but
31
For our children's children too
32
We are only passing through
33
CHORUS
34
I wonder sometimes what I will pass on
35
And how much can one voice do with just a song
36
Sometimes injustice and indifference
37
Are the only things I see
38
But I refuse to let my hope
39
Become the latest casualty
40
So I'll sing of love and truth
41
And try to practice all I preach
42
And if I can't change the world
43
I'll change the world within my reach
44
And what better place to start
45
Than here and now with me and you
46
We are only passing through
