It lives in the seed of a tree as it grows
You can hear it if you listen to the wind as it blows
It's there in the river as it flows to the sea
It's the sound, hear the sound, of a person becoming free

And it lives in the laughter of children at play
Or in the blazing sun that gives light to the day
It moves the planets and stars up in the sky
It's been the mover of mountains since the beginning of time

O Mystery, You are alive, I feel You all around
You are the fire in my heart, You are the holy sound
You are all of life, it is to You that I sing
Grant that I might feel You, always, in everything

And it lives in the waves as they crash upon the beach
I've seen it in the gods that men have tried to reach
I feel it in the love that I know we need so much
I know it in your smile, my love, when our hearts touch

But when I listen deep inside, I feel it best of all
Like a moon glowing bright and I listen to Your call
And I know You will guide me
I feel like the tide rushing through the ocean
of my heart, it's open wide

O Mystery, You are alive, I feel You all around
You are the fire in my heart, You are the holy sound
You are all of life, it is to You that I sing
Grant that I may feel You, always, in everything
