| de passage |
| J'ai vu J?sus sur la croix sur le mont Golgotha |
| J'ai dit "En veux-tu aux hommes pour ce qu'ils t'ont fait" |
| Il dit: "Parle d'amour et pas de haine |
| Pour toute la race humaine |
| J'ai si peu de temps je suis seulement de passage." |
| De passage, de passage |
| Triste, heureux, voyage, dancs ce monde en rage |
| Dites-leur bien je suis seulement de passage. |
| J'ai vu Adam quitter le jardin une pomme dans sa main |
| J'ai dit: "Et maintenant qu'est-ce tu vas faire ?" |
| "Je travaillerai la terre, et je ferai des pri?res |
| Je suis orphelin, je suis seulement de passage" |
| De passage, de passage .. |
| J'ai suivi Washington at Valley Forge, grelottant de froid |
| J'ai dit: "Pourquoi les hommes souffrent tant ici?" |
| "Pour une cause ils peuvent souffrir, sont m?me pr?ts ? mourir |
| Meme s'ils savent qu'ils sont seulement de passage." |
| De passage, de passage .. |
