Mystery my dear


Mystery my dear

That's all you may see

Some see a challenging view

Some see a hurting soul

Who were you?

Who will you be?

 

Cause mystery you see 

It's not at all what you think

You know the sources chained

To my knees for so many years?

There is a darkness within me

My body steers the distance

But my heart craves the love

 

My mystery you feel?

There is a lot more to hear

Some will be restless

But who will be virtuous?

 

Lean in and let me tell you a secret

My mystery my dear

Was built of righteous and fear.
