[Verse 1]
Mystical people, we're not sure where we belong
'Cause we've been gone from one place to another
The best we can do is be strong
Is it too late to go back? Will we be welcomed and kept?
Or will we be labeled the burden, that they will not accept?
[Pre-Chorus]
So we keep swimming upstream, trying to find a dream
But is it really there?
We keep banging our heads and hanging by threads
Does anybody care?
[Chorus 1]
The mystical people are wondering, mystical people
(Will anybody show the light)
Mystical people, the mystical people, mystical people
[Verse 2]
Mystical people, we keep wondering to and for
I have a question I ask of you:
Will we ever reach the place that we're trying to go?
Will we get there, my friend? Do you know which road to take?
Some don't even bother to try, so should we choose to forsake?
[Pre-Chorus]
So we keep swimming upstream, trying to find a dream
But is it really there?
We keep banging our heads and hanging by threads
Does anybody care?
Does anybody up there know?
[Chorus 2]
The mystical people are wondering, mystical people
(Will anybody show the light)
(Mystical people) should I persist, do I exist (mystical people)
Will I solve the puzzle of my plight? Ooh...
The mystical people are wondering, mystical people
(Will anybody show the light) turn it up, turn it up
(Mystical people) should I persist, do I exist (mystical people)
Will I solve the puzzle of my plight?
[Outro]
The mystical people are wondering, mystical people
(Will anybody show the light)
(Mystical people) should I persist, do I exist (mystical people)
Will I solve the puzzle of my plight? Yeah...
The mystical people are wondering, mystical people
(Will anybody show the light)
(Mystical people) should I persist, do I exist (mystical people)
Will I solve the puzzle of my plight?
The mystical people are wondering...
