THE MYSTERY OF LIFE

[Chorus]
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
Reality to experience

Confine yourself to observing
And you always miss the point of your own life
The object can be stated this way
Live the best life you can
Some never participate
Life happens to them
They get by on a little more
Than dumb persistence
And resist with anger or violence
All things that might lift them
Out of their resentment filled illusions
Of security
Abandon certainty
That's life's deepest command
And that's what life's all about
We are a probe into the unknown
Into the uncertain

[Chorus]
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
Reality to experience
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
Reality to experience

Life is a game
Whose rules you learn
If you leap into it and play it to the hilt
Otherwise you are caught off balance
Continually surprised by the shifting play
Non-players often whine and complain
That luck always passes them by
They refuse to see that they can create
Some of their own luck
Fortune passes everywhere
The joy of living, its beauty
Is all bound up in the fact
That life can surprise you
There's no secret to balance
You just have to feel the waves
Survival is the ability to swim
In strange water

[Chorus]
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
Reality to experience
The mystery of life
Isn't a problem to solve
But a reality to experience
Reality to experience

Be prepared
To appreciate what you meet
There's no mystery
About a human life
It’s not a problem to be solved
But a reality to be experienced
A reality to be experienced
A reality to be experienced
A reality to be experienced
A reality to be experienced
