Mystery Road - The Rainmakers

I used to go ride

Down Mystery Road

Roll open my window

Turn off my radio

Hear voices on the wind

Melodies humming low

And hymns wrote themselves

Like God only knows

But tonight I opened my window

The only sound that I heard

Was the silence of the stars

Flapping wings of a night bird

And I realized

It was a song that I knew

I recognized

The sound of me

Running from you

I wonder why we want to try

To travel alone

Come take a drive

Down Mystery Road

There’s two stories of life

That contain all the facts

One’s told to your face

The other’s told to your back

Which one to believe

Well that’s all up to you

Also to decide

Which one will come true

Is it the one where love

Is the pounding of a drum

A lone soldier on a hill

An army of one

Is it the one where love

Is a peace between two

A harmony

I put my ear to the track

I hear the rhythm of the rails

Hear the pounding of the hooves

Feel life on the trail

I feel the rain on my face

I hear the thunder’s loud peal

Hear the bells of Trinity ringing out

Over the fields

And I realized

It was a song that I knew

I recognized

The sound of me running to you

We harmonize, no compromise

To live note by note

Come take a drive with me

Down Mystery Road
