Mysteries And Questions

MYSTERIES AND QUESTIONS - Written by Carroll Bryant

I took a walk late last night around suppertime

Something much heavier than that 

Was weighing on my mind

It was dark and the cold wind blew across my face

Freezing my thoughts so still

And they dangled in one place

Making suggestions I don't understand

Mysteries and questions I can't answer

Answer them for me, somebody please

Answer them them for me, somebody

Please, somebody, answer them for me

Somebody please, answer them for me

I stand on trial in their court 

A witness to my own 

As they prosecute me for crimes I haven't done

And if a verdicts what they want 

Then where is all this common ground

That they claim forgives and loves? 

And in the moment of my sleep

(Peace and dreams)

They dare to ask me how I plead

Innocent or guilty? ... I can't answer

Answer them for me, somebody please

Answer them them for me, somebody

Please, somebody, answer them for me

Somebody please, answer them for me

I slip some air beneath my wings

Pretend that I can fly

I sit in judgement from my peers

And family

They cast their stones at me so hard

It breaks my heart and bones

It breaks me

Mysteries and questions

I can't answer them

Mysteries and questions

I can't believe in it - in them

(No one)

I throw caution to the earth 

All just to find a view

I make them think that I don't care

When deep inside I do

Running from the pain and memories

Running from myself

Running from my life

Mysteries and questions

I can't answer them

Mysteries and questions

Someone believe in me

Mysteries and questions

I can't answer

Answer them for me, somebody please

Answer them them for me, somebody

Please, somebody, answer them for me

Somebody please, answer them for me

Answer them for me, somebody please

Answer them them for me, somebody

Please, somebody, answer them for me

Somebody please, answer them for me
