Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We come from a distant past that we've forgotten
And now we look up and aspire to the stars
We are the mystery that even we can't decipher
The mystery of man
[Verse 2]
The story is told in stone and broken arrows
In traces of cities unknown lost in the sand
In colours and castle walls silent and unseen statues
The mystery of man
[Chorus]
The wind stirs the trees, like voices in dreams
And then just when it seems we know what it means
Simply it's gone
[Verse 3]
The miracle is in the mind asking the questions
Seeking to find itself if it can
Only to see itself endlessly echoed in mirrors
The mystery of man
Written by: Francy Boland, Gene Lees
