The mystery of life is never ending
Should a man take a wife
Or face the sunrise alone
In the stillness of the night
A voice will come a callin'
No matter what your means
The answer has no price
You may blame forgotten history
You may be ashamed of the treachery of men
But in the end it is each man's destiny
To face the mystery of life alone
Of life alone
A promise never kept and a love affair betrayed
All the tears that you have wept for the righteous and the brave
And the moments that have crept from the spotlight of your memory
Sit like stones beneath a stream illuminating like a dream
CHORUS
