The Mystery

There is something mysterious
Looking out from inside all of us
It is blue, and green, and red
It is both alive and dead

Within grapes of wrath are raisins of patience
Love and Hate are hallucinations
On the yearly longest night of wintertime
The light that lingers in us remains
All the way from the longest day of summertime
SUNSHINE

Wolves of the forest and whales of the bay
Human beings of the city and mice of the country
Everything with throats to scream can let them ring
Each knows the same thing I'm singing about knowing

Birds of the mountain and deer of the meadow
Cats of the plain
Orangutans of the wood
Snakes of the jungle and squirrels of the tree
Sheep of the valley and bears of the cave
Penguins of the ice and horses of the island
Beavers of the creek and camels of the desert
Rabbits of the garden
Crickets of the field
Lizards of the rocks and starfish of the tide pool
Cows of the pasture and leopards of the snow
Spiders of the barn and love birds of the cage
Boars of the brush and butterflies of warm sky
Alligators of the swamp
Alpacas of the petting zoo
Crabs of the cove
Kangaroos of the outback
Bees of the flowers and manatees of the estuaries

Calm comes from knowing, beauty comes from knowing
(Your core is shining everything keeps glowing)
Love comes from knowing
