You want some respect

I'm telling you this is all you get

There is no difference between you and me

We're both still breathing, we're both after a dream

On a street the divided will have fell

Cause life is a mystery

Written by poets who have burned in hell

Cause life is a mystery

Why so many rot away in a cell

Cause life is a mystery

Why the poor are rich, J Lo and Adele

A poor poet born to rap

A rich musician double tapped

And neither saw the sweet life Mister Magician

Or the better days of a lighter disposition

There is no difference between you and me

We're both still breathing, we're both after a dream

Notes are written in a solemn accord

Cause life is a mystery

Bullets flare while lovers are adored

Cause life is a mystery

Life is always young without praise from the lord

Cause life is a mystery

But what price will we pay, before we can't even afford?

Cause Life is a mystery

A soldier far from home

Dies on a battlefield all alone

He had a dream to never die

Everlasting days with his son, just he and I

There may be no difference between you and me

After all we're still chasing that ultimate dream

But how's the mystery of life going to change

For this honorable man's lonely kids instead?

Cause life is a mystery

Why must the young be taken away?

Cause life is a mystery

Why does justice never get's it's say?

Cause life is a mystery

Why do hearts feel pain day to day?

Cause life is a mystery

Why are families torn apart in this way?

Cause life is a mystery
