SANTANA:   Freedom

Veracruz

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 nights

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

She Can't Let Go

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

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

Once It's Gotcha

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 (instrumental)

Songs Of Freedom

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

Deeper, Dig Deeper

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

Praise

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

Mandela (instrumental)

Before We Go

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

Victim Of Circumstance

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!
