Mystery Song

(álbum: B Is for Beer: The Musical - 2018)

[Beer fairy:]
If a tree falls in the forest, no one hears it
Tell me, did it really fall?
If one hand claps by itself, do you wonder if
It'll make a sound at all?
You gotta stretch your head
Like the chicken and the egg
Which came first, apple or the core?

Take a moment stop and contemplate it
Let your head spin, get yourself frustrated
Think about it 'till you feel like giving up
You're getting close to

The mystery, the mystery
As above, so below
The mystery
Of what we'll never know

[Gracie:]
Why are teachers mean, why do parents scream?
And why does my pee melt the snow?
When people get grown up why do they act so tough?
There's so much I still want to know

[Beer fairy:]
Well I gotta tell ya that never changes

[Gracie:]
Even for grown-ups?

[Beer fairy:]
All through the ages

[Gracie:]
Then what is the point?

[Beer fairy:]
Okay! now you're getting close
It's not what you know
It's what you know you don't know

[Gracie:]
And all their smart chatter?

[Beer fairy:]
Simply doesn't matter
Are you getting it now?

[Gracie:]
Is there anything to get?

[Together:]
It's a mystery, a mystery
As above, so below
The mystery
Of what we'll never know
