Let the Mystery Be

"Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from

Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done

But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me

I think I'll just let the mystery be

 

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever, and some say you're gonna come back

Some say you rest in the arms of the saviour if in sinful ways you lack

Some say that they're comin' back in a garden, bunch of carrots and little sweet peas

I think I'll just let the mystery be

 

Everybody's wondering what and where they all came from

Everybody's worrying 'bout where they're gonna go when the whole thing's done

But no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me

I think I'll just let the mystery be

 

Some say they're going to a place called Glory, and I ain't saying it ain't a fact

But I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory and I don't like the sound of that

Well, I believe in love and I live my life accordingly

But I choose to let the mystery be..."
