Let The Mystery Be Lyrics & Chords By Iris Dement

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

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
I think I'll just let the mystery be
