Up all night got things to say
Couldn't sleep at all a light that's gone away
It was Christmastime what a shame
This little girl we all know her name

Did you see the news did you read the lines
Just a child, Lord what a crime
No forced entry not many clues
All of the answers are way overdue

It's the mystery that won't go away
The murder of little JonBenet
Lord talk to us, show us a sign
Solve the mystery of this awful crime

Streets of gold she must be there
Up in heaven, very well aware
Of the imposter who did this deed
The one who murdered, stole her life away

This night's over, still a mystery
Lying still, Lord won't you please
Find the answer, little girl gone away
Solve this mystery that won't go away

It's the mystery it won't go away
The murder of little Jon Benet
Lord talk to us, show us a sign
Solve the mystery of this awful crime
Lord talk to us, show us a sign
Solve the mystery of this awful crime
