Let the Mystery Be Lyrics

[Chorus]
Everybody is wondering what and where
They all came from
Everybody is worrying about where they're going to 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

[Verse 1]
Some say once gone you're gone forever
And some say you're going to come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
If in sinful ways you lack
Some say that they're coming back in a garden
Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas
I think I'll just let the mystery be

[Chorus]
Everybody is wondering what and where
They all came from
Everybody is worrying about where they're going to 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

[Verse 2]
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
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
But I choose to let the mystery be

About

This song bio is unreviewed

Singer/Songwriter Iris DeMent’s song, “Let The Mystery Be” was recorded on her 1992 album “Infamous Angel.” The song, eerily enough, almost perfectly portrays the plot of the 2014 HBO drama “The Leftovers.” The TV show “The Leftovers” is based on the sudden disappearance of 2% of the world’s population, on October 14th, 2011. The following 3 seasons are based around how the remainder of the world adapts to living after 140 million people unexplainably disappeared. Since nobody can seem to figure out the true answer as to why the disappearances took place, it’d probably better that they just let the mystery be. The irony is the reason the producers of “The Leftovers” decided to make “Let The Mystery Be” the shows theme song for the second season.
