Lyrics
Life's A Mystery
Words and music by Clifford A Rubin
Verse
There once was a farmer with only one horse
One day that horse ran away
His neighbor came by to give his regrets
The farmer shrugged and said, "Life's a mystery. Where it leads, we'll see."
A few days later the horse returned
With four mares and a colt
His neighbor came by to celebrate
The farmer shrugged as he spoke
Chorus
Life's a mystery. Where it leads, we'll see
Life's a mystery and I enjoy it for it teaches me
The more we learn, the less concerns, the easier to breathe
Whatever you see look a little deeper
And you'll uncover another piece of life's mystery
Verse
The farmer's son tried to break the horses
But broke his leg instead
The neighbor came by to say what a shame
The farmer shrugged and you know what he said
Then the town sent their sons off to war
But the broken legged boy couldn't serve
The neighbor came by to praise his friend's luck
The farmer shrugged and reaffirmed
Chorus
Bridge
The farmer outlived his neighbors, his life full and rich
The neighbor's son came by and asked what his secret is
The farmer shrugged and said
Chorus
