Part of the mystery

Trace it to sin or back to the fall

Some answers are like nailing smoke to the wall

You hammer all night, at sunrise there's nothing at all

The rich get more rich, the poor just stay poor

we're beating those plowshares back into swords

And who's in control, I'm telling you God only knows

It's just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug

You can't see the pattern when you're too close up

From our point of view, we are all far to human to see

It's part of the mystery

Bad men live on while good men die young

One day you born then swan song is sung

You search to and fro to find out what only God knows

So throw me a kiss and tell me good-bye

But don't waste your life always wondering why

You've got to believe, it's part of the mystery

Just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug

You can't see the pattern when you're too close up

From our point of view, we are all far to human to see

It's part of the mystery

So many things I can't understand

I'm sure that it's all just a part of His plan

Cause wouldn't you doubt a God that you knew all about

Just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug

You can't see the pattern when you're too close up

From our point of view, we are all far to human to see

It's part of the mys-, it's part of the mystery

Ooooh, part of the mystery

It's all part of the mystery
