Magical Journey
Nabowa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have traveled thus far To find where you are My lord what do you want of me.
Please take me my master From now to ever after For you are the one that's living in me
This person in my heart wants love everlasting This feeling inside wants peace to be found
Please take me my master from now to ever after For you are the one that's living in me
This is my journey home my journey home my journey home to you...
This is my journey home my journey home my journey home to you...
My lord please take me home my lord please take me home, my lord please take me home to you ...
The lyrics of Nabowa's song "Magical Journey" speak to the yearning of the human soul for a higher power, a force that can provide solace and guidance in the often tumultuous journey of life. The repeated plea "My Lord please take me home" is a direct invocation of the divine, a longing to be reunited with the Creator who can offer the ultimate solace and security. The traveler in the song has journeyed far to find where the Lord resides, but is still unsure of what is expected of them. The repetition of the request to be taken "from now to ever after" suggests a desire for eternal guidance and assurance.
As the song progresses, the traveler reveals a deep longing for love and peace, perhaps indicative of struggles or turmoil they have experienced in their travels. The repeated request for the Lord to "take me my master" and the declaration that "you are the one that's living in me" imply a level of spiritual surrender, a willingness to allow the divine to guide their path. The journey home in the song is not a physical one, but rather a journey towards spiritual enlightenment and connection.
Overall, "Magical Journey" is a heartfelt plea for connection and guidance from a higher power. It speaks to the universal human desire for solace and direction, and the hope that such solace can be found in something greater than ourselves.
