Passing Through
Passing through, passing through
Sometimes happy sometimes blue
Glad that I ran into you
Tell the people they're only passing through
I saw Adam leave the garden
with an apple in his hand
I said now you're out
What are you gonna do
Plant some crops and pray for rain
maybe raise a little cane
I'm an orphan and I'm only passing through
I shivered with George Washington
One night at Valley Forge
I asked why do men freeze here like they do
He said men will suffer, men will fight,
Even die, for what is right
Even though they know they're only passing through
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
Still a man is just a man
We're all strangers and we're only passing thru
Extra verse:
I was with those freedom riders
on that bus to Birmingham
They said all men are equal, that is true
And the answer when it came
Brought those freedom riders fame
Freedom's colors are red, white, black, and blue
