Join with friends or family to sing this round to celebrate life’s mystery together.
Here are the three parts:
First part: Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?
Second part: Where do we come from?
Third part: Mystery, mystery, life is a riddle and a mystery!
Listen to the video below to learn the melodies with the Orange County Unitarian Universalist Choir.

The lyrics to this song come from the title of one of artist Paul Gaugin’s paintings (you can see the words from the first part of the round, written in French, in the upper left-hand corner):
