Lyrics Let the Mystery Be (Remastered) (Live) - Iris DeMent

Everybody's wonderin' what and where they all came from
Everybody's worryin' '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 wonderin' what and where they all came from
Everybody's worryin' '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 goin' 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
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
But I choose to let the mystery be
Everybody is wondering what and where they all came from
Everybody is worryin' '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
