Refresh. In the meantime, here's her "Passing Through":

We are passing this world on to our kids
From the day when they climb from their cribs
We'll try and teach them well, show them that they're loved
But in the end all we can do is hope our best was good enough
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 world 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 are watching this world from our living rooms
Near forty years since we walked on the moon
This big blue ball is shrinking and I don't know if that's good
But for better or for worse now this whole world's our neighborhood
And there's no place left to run to, to stay above the fray
We better learn to get along not just to get our way
Not only for each other but our children's children too
We are only passing through
Passing through, passing through
We are only passing through
Passing through, passing through
We are only passing through
And I wonder sometimes what will I pass on
How much can one voice do with just a song
Sometimes injustice and indifference are all that 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 what I preach
If I can't change the world, I'll change the world within my reach
What better place to start than here and now with 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 are only passing through

No help on chords, but here's the lyrics as written on Curtis' website: https://catiecurtis.com/songs/f/Acoustic_Valentine/202

When I was 19 I broke up with my first girlfriend
Because of a guy down the hall who was a Christian
He said I look at you, I can see you dont wanna lie
But if you stay with her, your whole life youre gonna have to hide.
And I believed him so I let her go
And I cried my eyes out in my room alone
He would come by with the Bible until I shut the door
And decided I wasnt gonna lie to myself anymore

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, I believe
Love will make an honest world for me

It took a long time to find you
I knew right away I was gonna wanna spend my life with you
We took our wedding vows, had our wedding night
We had everything, except the legal right
So we jumped the broom like plantation slaves would do
Cause they couldnt marry under the masters rules

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, theyll see the truth
and I will make an honest woman of you

Theres a baby being born somewhere in the world
Whos gonna need us as much as were gonna need her
We will board the plane and were gonna bring her home
Thats how well make a little family of our own
But the documents will leave off one of our names
Like one of us cut right from the picture frame

Some day well all be free
I can feel it, its our destiny
Some day, I trust
Love will make an honest world for us
And today, I believe
Love has made an honest woman of me.
