It's a song by Iris Dement. (Any of you here happen to be a fan of hers?)
(This is her homepage: http://www.irisdement.com/ )
I sort of like listening to her sing.
I've highlighted some of the words in the lyrics. What comments would you like to make regarding the lyrics to this song? What do the lyrics bring to mind? Do they make you think? Make you mad? Make you cry? Or simply make you want to sing along?
Now don't be shy! Tell the world what is on your mind. *LOL*
LET THE MYSTERY BE (Iris DeMent) (c) 1992 Songs of Iris/Forerunner Music, Inc. ASCAP
Everybody is wonderin' what and where they all came from
Everybody is worryin' '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 backSome 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 is wonderin' what and where they all came from
Everybody is worryin' '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 goin' 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
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
But I choose to let the mystery be
Everybody is wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody is worryin' '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
I think I'll just let the mystery be
