(Words and Music Hale)Somewhere in the distance Hidden from the view Suspended in the atmosphere Waiting to come through Sometimes it's so far away Sometimes it's very near A sound being carried by the wind Just loud enough to hear I feel its power within me Bells ringing in my head So often I have heard its cry But forgotten what it said It's a mystery, oh, it's a mystery I'm still searching for a clue It's a mystery to me A shot in the dark The big question mark in history Is it a mystery to you? It can treat you with a vengeance Trip you in the dark Sirens in the distance Can steer you from the path It can lift you to the heavens Put your troubles in the past Whisper the elixir Then vanish in a blast It's a mystery, oh, it's a mystery I'm still searching for a clue It's a mystery to me A shot in the dark The big question mark in history Is it a mystery to you? It's a mystery to me, it's a mystery to me It's a mystery to me, it's a mystery to me It's a mystery, oh, it's a mystery I'm still searching for a clue It's a mystery to me A shot in the dark The big question mark in history Is it a mystery to you? It's a mystery, oh, it's a mystery I'm still searching for a clue It's a mystery to me A shot in the dark The big question mark in history Is it a mystery to you?
