Passing Through

We are passing 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 passing through Passing through Passing through We are only passing through Passing through Passing through We are only passing 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
