Still A Mystery

Here's one I wrote for a couple of friends of mine. They each came to a point in their lives when it was revealed to them that what they had thought to be true for so long wasn't true at all. They were shown the truth, but found it hard to trust due to having been decieved before. I think we can all relate to an extent. Click here to hear me performing it live.

Still A Mystery

Ready, aim, shoot, but you miss the mark
You just know you’ve let everyone down
What happened to the girl that you were
She had all the answers, now she can’t be found

Now everything’s different because everything’s new
you just don’t know where to begin

but hope is where you’ve fallen down
and you didn’t fall as far as you might think
and love is a gift that you could never earn
and grace is still a mystery

so many voices and so many rules
Y’know it’s enough to make you go numb
but you give all you have to do what they tell you
and one day it all comes undone

If all your beliefs turned out to be wrong
then what’s left to put your faith in?

but hope is where you’ve fallen down
and you didn’t fall as far as you may think
and love is a gift that you could never earn
and grace is still a mystery

and if you listen you can hear somebody singing over you
and if you listen you can hear somebody sing…

but hope is where you’ve fallen down
and you didn’t fall as far as you may think
and love is a gift that you could never earn
and grace is still a mystery
