10,000 Maniacs

Let the Mystery Be

[Chorus: ]

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

Nobody knows for certain, so it's all the same to me

Think I'll just let the mystery be

Some say once gone, you're gone forever

Some say they're gonna come back

Some say you rest in the arms of the Savior

if in sinful ways you lack

Some say that they're comin' back in a garden

Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas

Think I'll just let the mystery be

Some say they're going to place called "Glory"

And I ain't sayin' 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
