(Words and Music Hale)  Somewhere in the distance  Hidden from view  Suspended in the atmosphere  Waiting to come through  Sometimes it's so far away  Sometimes it's very near  sound being carried by the wind  Just loud enough to hear  feel its power within me  Bells ringing in my head  So often I have heard its cry  But forgotten what it said  It's a mystery, it's a mystery  I'm still searching for a clue  It's a mystery to me  shot in the dark  The big question mark in history  Is it a mystery to you?  It can treat you with a vengeance  Trip you in the dark  Sirens in the distance  Can steer you from the path  It can lift you to the heavens  Put your troubles in the past  Whisper the elixir  Then vanish in a blast  It's a mystery, it's a mystery  I'm still searching for a clue  It's a mystery to me  shot in the dark  The big question mark in history  Is it a mystery to you?
