Natural Mystic
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear
This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why

Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie
One and all got to face reality now
Though I try to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible
To go living through the past
Don't tell no lie

There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear
Such a natural mystic
Blowing through the air

This could be the first trumpet
Might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why

There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air
I won't tell no lie
If you listen carefully now, you will hear
There's a natural mystic
Blowing through the air

Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air
There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air
Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air

@HenryNji-go5ls

I just lost a friend this festive period he has been sick for more than a year now. This song speaks volumes. I also think about my mother who passed away in 2018 she was sick for quite a long time. I decided to adopt this song for their funeral . How many are still going to suffer and how many more re still going to die. Lord have mercy on us.Rip sweet mother

@Officialprodbytreybeats

This is beautiful. This song is powerful beyond words. I respect your choices. I just had to take my mother off of life support 3 days ago and held her hand at her last breath. This song is bringing me peace currently. Stay well!

@HenryNji-go5ls

Too much questions in my head after 10hrs of construction work everyday. And I thought about this song today after a long hard day. There’s something I have to understand about this song there might be answers cuz there’s something magical, mystical blowing through the air which people don’t know but we’ll have to suffer to know it. I love u all
