"The Mystery" lyrics

When I gaze into the sky at night
I see a race at the speed of light
Balls of fire
Reflections of the past
A lasting glimpse of a big time blast

Has it been forever?
How do we fit in?

There's a world beyond our own
Investigated yet unknown
History light years away
Still showing today
Wistful dreamer
True believer
We just can't see
The great unsolved mystery

Was it evolution or was it heaven sent?
We need more knowledge to apprehend
The world around us before we let it go
And we're closing doors to its final show

Was it meant to crumble in the hands of man?
Or are we just too dumb to understand?

There's a world beyond our own
Investigated yet unknown
Will they teach us who we are?
Can we get that far?
Wistful dreamer
True believer
We just can't see
The great unsolved mystery

We've got everything to lose
And nothing left to gain
Are we becoming champions of pain?
There's still embers in the dark
And sparkles in our eyes
If we really had to choose
We'd ditch our reservations and rise

There's a world beyond our own
Investigated yet unknown
History light years away
Still showing today
Wistful dreamer
True believer
We just can't see
The great unsolved mystery
