Van Morrison - The Mystery Lyrics






Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
You've got to open up your heart
That's all I know
Trust what I say and do what you're told
Baby, and all your dirt will turn
Into gold

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
And when you open up your heart
You get everything you need
Baby there's a way and a mystic road
You've got to have some faith
To carry on

You've got to open up your heart
To the sun
You know he's looking out for you
'Cause he's the one

Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go
There is no other place to be
Baby this I know
You've got to dance and sing
And be alive in the mystery
And be joyous and give thanks
And let yourself go

I saw the light of ancient Greece
Towards the One
I saw us standing within reach
Of the sun
Let go into the mystery of life
Let go into the mystery
Let go into the mystery
Let yourself go

You've got to open up your arms
To the sun
You know you've got so many charms
It's just begun
Trust what I say and do
What you're told
And surely all your dirt will turn into gold

    What a legend Van Morrison is. Years of brilliant fantastic music.

    M.... E....

    🎶👌🤗

  17. S.... H....

    There is something
    About THIS man's VOICE that makes these
    Older SONGS SO Beautiful

    S.... H....

    SH yes exactly, when asked about it. he just said he worked on it throughout the years, however i find that answer, him being humble. cos if you listen to him in his 20's he sounded fantastic then too so.

  18. K.... B....

    I love all van morrison music. he a wonderful artist

    K.... B....

    beautiful backup singers around him also and other very good musicians as you can hear :)

  19. i.... d....

  21. S.... R....

    i am in a place of joy keep me here i am free ,simple choice of love ,simple choice of love

  22. A.... M....

    Un disco completo y muy de escuchar dias lluviosos

  23. S.... ....

    why is van the man the best musician poet lover,,,,,,,,,p.s. i know the answer do you ???????????????? hit me

    S.... ....

    Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for :) (but my take is_)
    He has the ability to convey his magical musical talent through his songwriting with his incredible powerful interesting voice which is in perfect key (if he chooses it to be)and sing it in such a way like no one else can(its the way he sings a line) and play a heap of musical instruments of which he does masterfully, for me hes the best musician ever cos of this and just the simple fact his songs are bloody awsome to boot. Also the fact he has very good musicians around him and excellent backup singers, which makes the whole deal work.

  24. R.... 3....

    who were the 33 muther fuckers that disliked this. fuck you

  25. M.... A....

    Mmmmmmm

  26. L.... V....

    shouldn't need the lyrics but:
    Let go into the mystery
    Let yourself go
    You've got to open up your heart
    That's all I know
    Trust what I say and do what you're told
    Baby, and all your dirt will turn
    Into gold

    Let go into the mystery
    Let yourself go
    And when you open up your heart
    You get everything you need
    Baby there's a way and a mystic road
    You've got to have some faith
    To carry on

    You've got to open up your heart
    To the sun
    You know he's looking out for you
    'Cause he's the one

    Let go into the mystery
    Let yourself go
    There is no other place to be
    Baby this I know
    You've got to dance and sing

  35. S.... S....

    bollocks!...this is awesome, its pure gold, if he wrote and sung it, then its right...fade to black...

  36. P.... Z....

    To je samo Morison, vse njegove pesmi sežejo v dušo, dotikajo srce in za vedno ostanejo v ušesu, polepšajo mi občutek za stvarnost in, da je ljubezen prisotna, saj brez nje ne moremo živeti! Čudovit skladatelj in še boljši pevec! Ljubim njegovo glasbo, enkraten je!

    P.... Z....

    Thank you, agree

  37. T.... ....

    Van is a conscious creator ,,from the deeper awareness of his higher self the music flows ,,this is how he does it simple really

  38. B.... D....

    The Mystery (in my opinion) is why more people aren't listening to Van Morrison.

    B.... D....

    Have always heard a few of his songs but did not realize his great talent! And did not know rod Stewart sang some of his songs!

    B.... D....

    yip doesnt help with his grumpy disposition that people use his songs that he writes, but then makes them bigger hits he doesnt like rod much lol. i like some rod stewart's songs , broken arrow,forever young,I'm sailing'.

    B.... D....

    He is the greatest !

    B.... D....

    About five years ago, after years of hearing how good it was, I finally got around to watching (binge watching) the tv show, The Wire.  That is when I heard the song, "Fast Train" by Solomon Burke. It blew me away, and I listened to it repeatedly.  Then one day I thought to myself, "hey that sounds a lot like Van Morrison".  I googled the song, and sure enough, VM wrote it.

    B.... D....

    Brian Dorn If YOU don't like the song WTF are you doing here , everyone I know thinks it's one of Van's masterpieces.

  39. n.... j....

    i like the annimation

  40. G.... S....

    I'v nerver heard this song befordrade and I've benen listening to Van since "The angry Young Them" fr.o.m. -63 or -64 and The video is wounderfull to look at you entered à dreamworld...........

    G.... S....

    thx, yes and theres more you just have to find it

  41. P.... A....

    you have to dance and sing and let yourself go

    P.... A....

    Phil Abner 🌹

  42. P.... A....

    well keep searching and listening they dont call him Van the Man for nothing .

  43. J.... W....

    Whoever put all this together is awesome.

  44. a.... m....

    To PHILLIP, That Fleetwood mac song that you asked me about Mar15 (two days ago) just appeared in Google +. It says someone blocked it because of copyright protection. I never got your query on you tube.

    a.... m....

    +Phillip McConnochie , He's always had a great voice to me too except his version of Blowin in the Wind. PP&M sounded so much better. Thanks for offering me those MP3 Hayes songs. But I don't even know what MP3 is. If I'm determined, I can find that music on You Tube. I found a duplicate of that great WHO video I mentioned before. I would tell you the name of the guy who uploaded it but I don't remember. Hopefully it will be at least a year before they remove that video. I don't understand how one guy can have a video that has been free to run on You Tube for months or years, then suddenly be removed, while at the same time somebody else has the same video yet it is still running?

    a.... m....

    +alan murr , Polydorclassics is the name of someone who also uploaded The Who's live version of "Won't get fooled again" I hope too many people talking is not how some people get caught and others don't get caught.

    a.... m....

    just download it here http://www.myfreemp3.space/mp3/the+ballad+of+Ira+Hayes

    a.... m....

    +Phillip McConnochie , Thanks for all of those downloads. I especially liked Johnny Cash's version of the Ira Hayes song. I was never a Johnny Cash fan or follower but after listening to Cash sing that song, his voice sounded so good and so did the song. No wonder why Cash was such a super star.

    a.... m....

    +alan murr oh haha really i feel the same way about bobs version. i like jonny too, but bob has a special sensitivity in his voice for me.

  45. M.... V....

    I have never heard this song before. This guy is simply amazing

    M.... V....

    +Mike Volpe cheers )

    M.... V....

    Mike Volpe Van Morrison dude , along with Lennon/McCartney , Dylan and Joni Mitchell the greatest songwriters of our time.

  46. R.... W....

    this is beautiful

  47. E.... A....

    love the Celtic undertones in this one.

  48. a.... m....

    TRUST WHAT I SAY AND DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD AND SURELY ALL OF YOUR DIRT WILL TURN INTO GOLD. Van's Dad was an avid record collector so Van had many many great songs to listen to when he was just a toddler about age 4. Is this why he is such a brilliant song writer or did one or both of his parents just give him a rare unique gift? While his Dad was an avid record collector, his Mom was a popular professional jazz singer. Many avid record collectors are people who have a great aptitude for music and could have been great musicians themselves but they just didn't know it. Combine his father with his mother and those are pretty good music genes.

    a.... m....

    +Event Trading , Good point. The same thing applies to Doctors and Lawyers. Both professionals teach their sons and now a days daughters what it is like to be a Doctor or Lawyer while they are growing up such that so many know as early as age 13 that that is what they are going to do after their SCHOOL DAYS are over with. They not only KNOW a lot about their future professions long before they are age 18 but they BELIEVE that they can excel as a Doctor or a Lawyer. Many people who consider being a Doctor or Lawyer fail to become one because they falsely BELIEVE that they aren't smart enough. Movie actors become directors because they see what a director does and they say to themselves "I can do that". Many students watch their teachers and say to themselves, "I can do that!"

    a.... m....

    +alan murr I was just wondering if your able to play this song? or have youtube got rid of this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTllw7ho2Lo

    a.... m....

    I went to the sight Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac and it says WMG has blocked it on copywrite grounds. Sorry about the spelling of copyright.

    a.... m....

    +Phillip McConnochie , It said that is was blocked by WMG on copyright grounds.

  49. B.... V....

    I always found this song to be beautiful and it always took me to a calm, wonderful place whenever I listened to it.  But back in 2006, this song took on a different meaning for me.  My young, beautiful, vibrant 36 year old wife and soul mate suddenly suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage due to a ruptured brain aneurysm.  She was soon declared brain dead, and I had to make the decision to take her off of life support.  Myself and other family members gathered around her hospital bed and said our final goodbyes.  I always imagined her hearing this song as she let go of this physical world and entered the light of the spiritual world.  I can't help but shed tears when I hear this song.  And when it's my turn to depart this physical world and reunite with her in the spiritual world, I can only hope there is beautiful music like this playing in the background.

    B.... V....

    Brian Vogel my condolences traveller

    B.... V....

    Brian Vogel Gives me chills just reading this.

    B.... V....

    Very sad to hear, I'm sure knowing someone loved you gives you comfort when you most need it, as well as the memories, your post should remind us all who read it that life is a short gift that passes quickly, we all moan about this and that (ridiculous really) I hope you are well and of good health.

    B.... V....

    Be well brother

    B.... V....

    I know this is an old post but I feel your pain.... Lost my mother to a massive stroke and song like this eases the pain a little.

  50. J.... M....

    GOD,This guy is so brilliant!
    So many brilliant tunes composed & every one is totally different.
    How does he do it?
    Van is a true musical genius.
    From a 71yo Aussie fan.

    J.... B....

    How Van does it? His answer in an interview to that question: "Work. Hard Work." Listen all you musicians: work, work hard. Every day. Genius is 95 % hard work.

    J.... B....

    ClusterVisionMach2
    Sam Cooke is on the radio! Van's dad had a great collection of music and Van has worked hard but there's no doubt he has the gift and the muse.

    J.... B....

    I quite agree though he also re-work and re-use a lot. For instance here the refrain's melody is the same as in haunts of ancient peace

    J.... B....

    John Benn couldn't have said it better myself bro, love van the man in USA too n U guys have beautiful country n LOVE U people !! PEACE, happiness, PROSPERITY n High Heavenly Blessings on u n yours from GREAT USA !!
