The Mystery We Are

Within the hall of mirrors
Within a crowd of you
Where you're gathering in cloud form
Refusing what is true

Uncertainties reflecting
All along the way
While I still meet with confusion
In what to do or say

Oh, please don't reveal who we are
Can we wonder at the mystery so far?
Maybe someday we will find the thing we are
Be it under a stone or behind the door
Languishing on an ocean floor

Within the heart hanging on a star
The mystery we are

Russian dolls concealing
A dream within a dream
Where the depths beneath the surface
Are rarely ever seen

Oh, please don't reveal who we are
Can we wonder at the mystery so far?
Maybe someday we will find the thing we are
Be it under a stone or behind the door
Languishing on an ocean floor

Within the heart hanging on a star
The mystery we are

If you know the answer
And if you find the key
To the opening of secrets
And you offer it to me, and I say

Please, don't reveal who we are
Can we wonder at the mystery so far?
Maybe someday we will find the thing we are
Be it under a stone or behind the door
Languishing on an ocean floor

Slumbering in a dreamless sleep
Melting into the velvet deep
Within the heart hanging on a star
The mystery we are
