Mark Erelli - Pa**ing Through lyrics

We are pa**ing this world on to our kids From the moment that they climb out of their cribs We try to teach them well And show them they are loved But in the end all we can do Is hope our best is good enough For they'll witness how this life Can be so beautiful and cruel We can't shelter them forever But if we show them all the tools They might leave this place in A little better shape than me and you We are only pa**ing through Pa**ing through Pa**ing through We are only pa**ing through Pa**ing through Pa**ing through We are only pa**ing through We've been watching this world from our living rooms It's been near 40 years since we walked on the moon And this big blue ball keeps shrinking And I don't know if that's good But for better or for worse now This whole world's our neighborhood There's no place left to run to Where you can stay above the fray We all learn to need to get along And not just get our way Not only for each other but For our children's children too We are only pa**ing through CHORUS I wonder sometimes what I will pa** on And how much can one voice do with just a song Sometimes injustice and indifference Are the only things I see But I refuse to let my hope Become the latest casualty So I'll sing of love and truth And try to practice all I preach And if I can't change the world I'll change the world within my reach And what better place to start Than here and now with me and you We are only pa**ing through CHORUS
