Trace it to sin or back to the fall
Some answers are like nailing smoke to the wall
You hammer all night, at sunrise there's nothing at all
The rich get more rich, the poor just stay poor
we're beating those plowshares back into swords
And who's in control, I'm telling you God only knows
It's just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug
You can't see the pattern when you're too close up
From our point of view, we are all far to human to see
It's part of the mystery
Bad men live on while good men die young
One day you born then swan song is sung
You search to and fro to find out what only God knows
So throw me a kiss and tell me good-bye
But don't waste your life always wondering why
You've got to believe, it's part of the mystery
Just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug
You can't see the pattern when you're too close up
From our point of view, we are all far to human to see
It's part of the mystery
So many things I can't understand
I'm sure that it's all just a part of His plan
Cause wouldn't you doubt a God that you knew all about
Just like the shapes on my grandmother's rug
You can't see the pattern when you're too close up
From our point of view, we are all far to human to see
It's part of the mys-, it's part of the mystery
Ooooh, part of the mystery
It's all part of the mystery
Divine Design
Dana Key - Part of the mystery - © 1995
What keeps this tiny planet moving round the sun each day
What makes the evening sky into a shrine
You've known it from the start
'Cause it's written in your heart
This clock is running by divine design
What keeps the seasons changing as the winter yields to spring
Who made the plan to bring this rock to life
Oh you don't need a school
'Cause from Einstein to fool
You know that it is by Divine Design
Tell me you believe it's fate and not a master plan
Tell me I'm an accident with eyes and feet and hands
I tell you one more time I know this world is by Divine Design
Would evolution teach us how to choose from right and wrong
When right means that we'll have to sacrifice
Would evolution start
A world that's filled with art
You know it is By Divine Design
Tell me you believe it's fate and not a master plan
Tell me I'm an accident with eyes and feet and hands
I tell you one more time I know this world is by Divine Design
Tell me you believe it's fate and not a master plan
Tell me I'm an accident with eyes and feet and hands
I tell you one more time I know this world is by Divine Design
Tell me you believe it's fate and not a master plan
Tell me I'm an accident with eyes and feet and hands
I tell you one more time I know this world is by Divine Design
Invisible Kingdom
Dana Key - Part of the mystery - © 1995
He's pounding leather on a Memphis street
He's doing business for the tired and the weak
He would be wealthy if he had a dime for every mile
He's pouring granite into hearts of men
Leaves a foundation every place he's seen
Asking for nothing but a handshake or a smile
He's never noticed by this town's elite
You don't see limo's cruising down third street
It's no big deal 'cause showing off is not his quiet style
He's invisible back in Hollywood
Invisible to the world's blue blood
He quietly goes on building kingdom
Invisible to the man of means
Invisible to the social scene
He quietly goes on building kingdom
He's gives his life and never ask for pay
A see through man just doesn't see that way
It's bringing hope into his world, that keeps his motor wound
Somebody ought to warn the heads of state
That if we ever lose our silent saints
Without their light this place is gonna be a darker town
He's invisible back in Hollywood
Invisible to the world's blue blood
He quietly goes on building kingdom
They're invisible to the man of means
Invisible to the social scene
They quietly go on building kingdom
That's What Love Is About
Dana Key - Part of the mystery - © 1995
Kindra's bed is on the floor
Windows aren't safe
That's life in war
The time she hears the shots ring out
Kindra taught her self to steal
It's been three since she's had a hot meal
Kindra's learning how to hate
Who'll save her life, before it's just too late
She's found an angel of mercy in her destiny
He said he came in the name of the Lord
Kindra don't pay me a thing
Pay with a smile or pay with a kiss
it's all a days works that's what love is
Pay with a song or pay with a shout
It's part of my job 'cause that what's love is about
That what's love is about
Kindra's quite a lady now
Makes her home in the South
Grateful for allt hat she's got
She's been blessed ans owes a lot
She thinks back on her old life
Those tattered clothes, those tears a night
She hurts for that side of town
She's going back to lay her life down
They' got an angel of mercy in their destiny
She says she comes in the name of the Lord
Friend you don't owe me a thing the girl said
Pay with a smile or pay with a kiss
it's all a days works that's what love is
Pay with a song or pay with a shout
It's part of my job 'cause that what's love is about
That what's love is about
That what's love is about
Dear Mr. Clapton

Dear Mr. Clapton,
I have learned of your loss.
Tears in heaven,
It’s a beautiful song.
I know your bleeding
Won’t cease with my words.
They’re just a cool drink
To help you along.
Through Saturdays with no noise,
Baseballs and untouched toys.
They leave an empty feeling in your soul.
He is in heaven’s care.
There are no tears up there, cuz,
Jesus loves children more than we will ever know.
He loves those children more than we will ever know.
Dear Mr. Clapton,
You are not without hope.
The door to heaven
lies beyond the grave
If you would only
believe as a child,
someday this pain
will be washed away.
Of, memories of holidays,
That small angelic face
They leave an empty feeling in your soul.
CHORUS
Dear Mr. Clapton,
I have learned of your loss.
Rain On
Dana Key - Part of the mystery - © 1995
Saw an old man with a cane his hair was silver gray
Use to have good friends, now he misses them
Winter comes to every life 'cause spring times have to fade
Seasons have to change it is nature's way
No one has promised us a life time without pain
Hard the old man say, it'd just a rainy day
He knows this too will pass and joy will come again
Let the whole world know, let the cold wind blow
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Saw an old man with a dream of wealth and everything it brings
He heard the Shepherd call, so he left it all
Sometimes a careless word can leave a hollow ring
But he follows on, soon the doubt is gone
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, Rain on, Rain on, Rain on,
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground
Rain on, I will not drown
I'm standing firm on higher ground...
Daniel
Daniel's just a teenage boy
Trying to learn the Torah
It's not easy to have faith
In LA or Gomorra, LA or Gomorra
There are Babylonians even here in Kansas
They're out singing in the streets
To Nine Inch Nails and Elvis, Nine Inch Nails and Elvis
Daniel you're shining so bright
Like a roman candle
Daniel we're seeing the light
We need more like you Daniel
Neb's the ruler of this town
He ride in a Lexus, in a Lexus
He has got an ego that is
Twice the size of Texas, twice the size of Texas
Daniel he will steal your eyes
So you'll blindly follow
Inside he's the lord of lies
Outside he's Apollo, outside he's Apollo
Daniel you're shining so bright
Like a roman candle
Daniel we're seeing the light
We need more like you Daniel
Daniel you're making us proud
Standing ever faithful
Daniel I'm telling you now
We need more like you Daniel
We need more like you Daniel
We need more like you Daniel
Daniel we're seeing the light
Liar, Lunatic Or Lord
Do you find rather odd
Jesus claims humility
Then He says that He is God
How can this be
What kind of man would have the nerve
To tell us He'll forgive your sin
Laughter is what He desires
Unless He can
Unless He can
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
In the end it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
You've got to choose
You've got to choose
Do you find rather strange
This man that came from Nazareth
Some how has he strenght to raise
A man that's dead, a man that's dead
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
In the end it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
You've got to choose
You've got to choose
Couls this be a clever man
With a demon deep within
Could this be a devil's plan
He has no sin, He has no sin
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
In the end it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
You've got to choose
You've got to choose
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
In the end it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
You've got to choose
You've got to choose
Is this the dilemma by design
Every man has got to choose
Evil madman or divine
It's up to you, it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
In the end it's up to you
Liar, lunatic, or Lord
You've got to choose
You've got to choose
Prisoner Of Chillon
These chains are now my only friends
And solitude my joy
I think I hear the distant laugh of the count Savoy
Tonight I'll leave this cursed home
Yet wake up still the prisonner of Chillon
I'm punished for God's Holy Word
Imprisonned for my stand
But if I die a martyr's death
Still I will not recant
I'll trust it till my strenght is gone
Then leap into eternal dawn
Thus freeing me, the prisoner of Chillon
For I would gladly sacrifice my all to the Son
And here I gladly serve Him as the prisonner of,
the prisonner of, (the prisonner of), the prisonner of, (the prisonner of)
A mouse to keep me company
A spider on my wall
No one else to comfort me
Or hear my anguished call
I made my bed upon these stones
And pass the hours all alone
For I am still the prisoner of Chillon
Yes I am still the prisoner of Chillon
Yes I am still the prisoner of Chillon
Mary

Mary why have you come here?
With your heart so sad and your eyes filled with tears
Think back, think back, what did he say?
He said that he would die, but he'd rise the third day
He's higher, raised up by the Father's power
Higher, up from the dead
He did what He said
So Mary please don't be afraid
There's no man there where he did lay
Run now, run now, tell your friends
Jesus was dead but he lives again
He's risen, raised up with our sins forgiven
Risen up from the grave
Oooh, oooh, oooh, with the power to save
Aaaah, Mary why did you come here?
With your heart so sad and your eyes filled with tears
Why don't you run now, run now, tell your friends
Jesus was dead but he lives again
He's ri-i-sen, ri-i-sen, ri-i-sen today, yeah, yeah!
