(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Gregg Rolie, Chester Thompson, Jeffrey Cohen, & Buddy Miles)

Come on, baby, don't you wanna go
Way down south, talkin' 'bout Mexico

Straight through the jungle, out to the sea
We'll have some fun if you fly away with me
Like some old movie in black and white
We'll fall in love in the middle of the night

Chorus:
Me and you, down in Veracruz
Do what you wanna do, down in Veracruz

Come on, baby, don't you wanna come
In the town, people movin' to the drums

Rosa's Cantina, it never stops
Drinkin' cerveza, people party 'til they drop
Forget the laundry, forget the rain
We'll get to heaven on the seven-thirty plane

Chorus 2x

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Tom Coster, Alphonso Johnson, Cory Lerios, Jeffrey Cohen, & Buddy Miles)

She has the innocence and vision of a child
How can I ever really know her?
We're riding on a carousel
That's running wild
Around in circles 'til it's over

And every time we reach the end
We go around again 'cause

Chorus: 
She can't let go
And I don't wanna tell her no
She can't let go
And I don't wanna tell her no

I see her starin' out the window at the rain
But she will never leave the fire
Sometimes it burns all night and covers up the pain
Sometimes it only leaves us tired

And every time we reach the end
We go around again 'cause

Repeat chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Tom Coster, Alphonso Johnson, Chester Thompson, Jeffrey Cohen)

One taste
That ain't so much
You think you'll be safe from her touch

She calls
You can't hide
Your back's to the wall, the wall's on fire

Ooh, when her music starts to play
Ooh, you could dance your life away. 

Once it's gotcha, never set you back down
Once it's gotcha, you'll lose your head in the clouds

Sweet dreams
Of her kiss
No heaven could be quite like this

Your love
Runs so strong
You can't get enough, right or wrong

Ooh, when her music starts to play
Ooh, you could dance your life away

. . .

Love Is You

[No lyrics]

. . .



Everybody tells me, we love your songs
Your soul is precious, but it just ain't good enough
You need a single to help you through
Program directors, they all make the rules
I said, you're kidding, you're putting me on
What about the Constitution, freedom of expression
Listen to the music, just feel the sound
Love is the motion, that's what makes the world go around

Sing, Songs of Freedom
Bring joy to the world
Sing, Songs of Freedom
Bring joy to the world

Everybody listen, stop and take some time
To understand the world situation
There is no meaning in fighting the way we do
Let's come together and forgive each other

Sing, Songs of Freedom
Bring joy to the world
Sing, Songs of Freedom
Bring joy to the world

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Chester Thompson, Sterling Crew, & Buddy Miles)

Deeper, Deeper, dig, dig, Deeper, Deeper 

Get a little closer 
You don't have to be afraid 
You have to trust your inner pilot 
Don't let it drift away 

Dig a little deeper 
You gotta get it in your soul 
Reach out with your spirit 
And let your feelings show 

Deeper, Deeper, dig, dig, Deeper, Deeper 

You can't deny the feeling 
That touches you inside 
When you're tired and lonely 
You don't have to lose your pride. 

Take the time to listen 
Stay a little while 
Got a song to sing for you 
Let the music get you higher, higher.

. . .



Let me begin by telling you
Something that happened turned my head around
I took a walk on a cloudy day
I met a friend, this is what he said

Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

What do you do when you gain the world
You pay the price, baby, you lose your soul
Live in a world of make believe
It won't work, baby, can't you see?

Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

Praise.....Praise

It's three o' clock in the mornin'
When I'm all by myself
And I feel the spirit comin' on again

Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

. . .

(Music/ Lyrics:Carlos Santana & Jim Capaldi)

Before we go 
I want you to know 
How much I love 
Sharing with you 
All that I have 
And all that I am 
Belongs to you 
All of the time

You been so kind 
And wonderful 
By being here 
So close to me 
Deep in my heart 
I clearly see 
That you and I 
Will soon be free

I'll be standing here 
Waiting on you 
I can hardly wait 
To make you mine (mine, mine...) 
It's time to go 
And nothing can stop 
Or even delay 
Our journey's goal 
Remember to be one with you heart 
One with the sky, one with the sea

. . .



Here I am, once again
This time, babe, I'm gonna do it right
Mind's made up, heart is set
Ain't no way I'm gonna compromise

Something happened, Hollywood skies
I was mesmerized
Suits and ties with platinum eyes
Cold cash junkies got the best of me

Victim of circumstance

Got myself back together
Learned my lesson well
I had to put up a fight, to make it right
Freedom's ringing like the sound of a bell

Victim of circumstance

One more thing I want to say to you
Before you go away
Don't you let 'em, no! 
Don't you let 'em, no!
