verse 1: Well I lived in that town till I was 17 When I Moved to the mountains that rose from the sea Where they taught me to pray each and every day Said if I didn't, the devil, he would take me verse 2: And so I threw my hands up and I spoke to the lord I said I'm a sinner an apocrphyal poet Seems that God wasn't near for no words did I hear Could it be I was talkin' to no one Chorus Please beware In a mysterious way, God is here Please beware He's your pity, your pain, he's your fear Please remember my son, what I've taught you ain't much It is God who will take you from here Well I cannot deny that the Lord might exist But he ain't the problem to answers we missed Just don't base your whole life off of one bad disguise You never know behind which he's looking And if it is comfort or peace, in religion you seek And it makes you feel whole then it worked, don't ya think You can argue and scream, paint each other obsence But I have recently known, that it don't matter Please beware In a mysterious way, God is here Please beware He's your pity, your pain, he's your fear Please remember my son, what I've taught you ain't much It is God who will take you from here
