Anybody can see
I'm not what I used to be
This man is for real
I know a change is coming over me

Every lesson I've learned
I learned it the hard way
All the pages I've turned
Now I finally take it day by day

Oh, I wasn't looking at reality
Cause it always made me cry
Why's it supposed to take so long to be a success for me

As I get older and no wiser
It's still a mystery to me
But was it real or daydreams like they said
It's still a mystery to me
So while the questions just fell upon my eyes
But before I could see
That all the answers were locked up inside
It's still a mystery to me
Oh still a mystery to me

When I was a younger man
A man like a ... man
I flew like a bird across the sky

But the spot where the rainbow's at
Took me right back to where I started
No I never thought to look inside

No and it doesn't really matter much
If the sun just fades away
Because we never get to win it over

If only only knew what I have found along the way
I could change the world before this round could give away

As I get older and no wiser
It's still a mystery to me
But was it real or daydreams like they said
It's still a mystery to me
So while the questions just fell upon my eyes
But before I could see
That all the answers were locked up inside
It's still a mystery to me
Oh still a mystery to me
Oh still a mystery to me
