A grand December day

In ways no camera lens could capture

But then, no clouds to mute the skies

Unshielded eyes, a quiet fractured

Long rolling thunder claps

Like raptures past, we held together again

But in the aftermath, one left the path

This time forever, he said

If you look you'll find me

Staring down the sun

Riding rainbows 'round the moon

As the clock's unwinding

Each and every one of us

We're only passing through

Only passing through

No tears, no long goodbyеs

No hero dies, the film continuеs

And when the perfect story's told

The credits roll - it should be over, he said

If you look you'll find me

Staring down the sun

Riding rainbows 'round the moon

As the clock's unwinding

Each and every one of us

We're only passing through

Only passing through

Only passing through

Everybody's looking for the perfect high

To fade the past and face tomorrow

While life is rumbling quickly by

Everybody's looking for the perfect high

To break the fall and ease the sorrow

And now it's time to wonder why

Everybody look up, look up

Everybody wonder why

As the clock's unwinding

Each and every one of us

We're only passing through

Only passing through

We're only passing through

Only passing through
