Mystery
Countless times I've tried to make some sense
Of this world in which we live
But I can't seem to find a space in my heart to forgive it
And every day the news tells of another tragedy
But we've become desensitized to what we see

Oh, I don't know, I don't understand
And it makes no sense to me
No matter how I try to spin it
I still can't see.  I need to understand
This world is a mystery

And children in the schoolyard
Don't see the world like you and me
A fragile film of innocence projects a vision of peace

But they don't know, they don't understand, and it makes no sense to me

We're all running around like everything's okay
Looking past what's staring us right in the face
If we stop pretending maybe we'll see change
Live to see a brighter day
I don't know, I don't understand
And it makes no sense to me
No matter how I try to spin it
I still can't see
No matter how I try to understand
This world's still a mystery
We need to understand
This world is a mystery
When will we understand
This world is a mystery
We need to understand
This world is a mystery
