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? @SONG: MASAI BOY (Words Willcox/Music Willcox, Lee) Rise o sun Rise o sun Golden one God of our horizon God's eye.
