Iris DeMent

Everybody is wonderin' what and where they they all came from
everybody is worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go 

when the whole thing's done, 

but no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me 

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say once you're gone you're gone forever
and some say you're gonna come back,
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
if in sinful ways you lack
Some say that they're comin' back in a garden
bunch of carrots and little sweet peas
I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Everybody is wonderin' what and where they all came from
everybody is worryin' 'bout where they're gonna go
when the whole thing's done, 

but no one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me 

I think I'll just let the mystery be.

Some say they're goin' to a place called Glory
and I ain't saying it ain't a fact
but I've heard that I'm on the road to purgatory
and I don't like the sound of that
I believe in love and I live my life accordingly
but I choose to let the mystery be.

Nota: O melhor a fazer sobre Deus e o destino é manter o mistério. De que vale ter fé ou ser ateu com dúvidas? E o pior é fingir certezas absolutas.
