(Music/ Lyrics: David Sancious, Alex Ligertwood, Greg Walker, & Alphonso Johnson)

Standing in the valley of indecision
Trying to make some sense out of
A strange condition that we see
I've gotta find a way out ‘cause
Nobody would listen 
So I turn my back and now I'm
On my way 

Chorus: 
Breaking out...I'm on my way 
Breaking out... 
Breaking out...I'm on my way 
Breaking out... 

I hear the things thy tell me but 
I don't believe it... 
Gotta find a place where I can 
Breathe and just be me... 
Gonna shake up the world 
Into a new position 
Now I'm letting you know that
I am on my way... 

Repeat Chorus 

I can't stop this feeling deep 
Inside of me 
Now I finally see the reason 
Why... 
In my heart I know it's not 
Some fantasy... 
When I lift my eyes up to the 
Sky... 

SOLO 

It's a brand new day, but it 
Seems like an old one 
People playing games, but it's
No game I want to play 
They tried to hand me the dice 
But I knew they were loaded 
So I turned my back and now 
I'm on my way 

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Mitchell Froom & Jerry Stahl)

Your eyes are the color of the sea 
You look my way and the waves 
Wash over me 
Your body shivers with the 
Fading light 
You say, “Baby, let's just make 
It last tonight.”

And when the morning comes 
You take me by the hand 
And say our love is written in sand 
Written in sand 

We hear the ocean roar 
We're swept away on to some
Distant shore 
You whisper secrets of the heart 
They keep us close when the
World keeps us apart 

Until tomorrow comes 
Time is on our hands 
Because this love is written in 
Sand 
Written in sand 

SOLO 

Nothing lies between 
A woman and a man 
When their love is written in sand 
When their love is written in sand 
When their love is written in sand

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, & David Sancious)

Brotherhood... 
All around - sweet brotherhood 
No more us and them - 
Oneness 
No more politics or denominations 
Brotherhood 
No more war, violence, or pain 
Compassion 
In brotherhood, we'll find 
Joy............Dynamism 
Sweetness......Softness 
Soulfulness....Dignity 
Tranquility....Serenity 
Harmony........Perfection 
Harmony........Perfection 

One mind! 
One truth! 
One life!

. . .


(Greg Walker, Alex Ligertwood, Chester D. Thompson, & Armando Peraza)

One day you're up, next day 
You're down 
Where does it end 
War in the east, war in the south 
No one can win 

Hunger and strife taking the lives 
Brothers and friends 
Young people grow, way much 
Too fast 
To realize 

Chorus: 
That the spirit brightens up 
The sun 
Everything in life must be as one 

Nations collide, defending 
Their pride 
Blood is the price 
The price is too high, no need 
To die 
Let's turn it around 
Let's change the face, the 
Human race 
Progress will come 
Just take the time, look deep 
Inside 
We'll understand 

Repeat Chorus 

Can't you feel the spirit 
Grow into the light 
Can't you see the spirit 
Glowing in the night

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Orestes Vilato, Greg Walker, Alex Ligertwood, & Chester D. Thompson)

Somebody deceived you, 
Your hearts broken into pieces 
Right now (I,) 
I know how you feel 
I'm with you, here for you 
I know just what you have been 
Through 
Ooo, Baby, I know how you feel 

But don't forget about tomorrow 
Put aside your sorrow 
And believe in me 
I'm waiting here deep down 
Inside you 
For my love to guide you 
Bring you back to me 

Chorus: 
I love you, said I love you 
Right now! 
I need you, said I need you 
Right now! 
I want you, said I want you 
Right now! 
I love you, said I love you 
Right now! 

You sit there pretty baby 
Why don't you stop anticipating 
Ooh yeah, I want to give love 
To you 
I'm standing here and waiting 
Your tears falling down like 
Raindrops 
Ooo, I want to give love to you 

But don't forget about tomorrow 
Put aside your sorrow 
And believe in me 
I'm waiting here deep down 
Inside you 
For my turn to guide you 
Bring you back to me 

Repeat Chorus 

When darkness comes 
And it surrounds you 
There's a light inside you 
Let it show the way 
No matter how far you have fallen 
You can hear the callin'
This is what is said 

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, & Orestes Vilato)

Walking down on Main Street 
Cold chills in the air 
Looking for a helping hand 
Ain't nobody there 
Dreams, nightmares, and fantasies 
Weave their way around 
I can see past appearances 
They can't bring me down 

Chorus: 
But tell me 
Who loves you 
When you're down and out 
And you're all alone 
Who loves you 
When you've lost your mind 
And you lose control 

Television, radio and all the magazines
Focus on the negative 
Time and time again 
Young men give their lives away 
Believing in a cause
Ware is always profitable
They write you off a loss

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Curtis Mayfield)

Chorus: 
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one who loves you
I'm the one who loves you

Little girl again you are blue
Another fellow has gone and left you
I see you've come back to me
Your best frind
To tell another tragic story again
And once more you look into my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize

Repeat Chorus

I must confess you're not to be blamed
For being caught in those boys' vicious games
This time I won't let you go back
Never again, my dear, in fact
I'm gonna stop the blueness
In you
Also confess what my heart
Wants me to

Repeat Chorus

Just once more you look in my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Val Garay, Steve Goldstein, & Anthony La Peau)

It gives me such a thrill 
When you tell me ‘bout the way 
You feel 
It really makes my day 
I just love to hear you say 

Chorus: 
Say it again, say it high say it low 
Say it again, so the whole wide 
World will know 
Say it, that you're still lovin' me 
Still lovin' me, still in love with me 
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when 

Say it again, that our love will never end 
Say it, that you're still lovin' me 
Still lovin' me, still in love with me 

You know it sounds so sweet 
It just knocks me right up off of 
My feet 
To hear you talk that way 
I just love to hear you say 

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge: 
I hear the echoes in my mind 
They're calling to me all the time 
I hear those voices start to sing 
Again and again 

Instrumental 

Repeat 1st verse 

Repeat Chorus

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Carlos Santana, Chester D. Thompson, Alex Ligertwood, Greg Walker)

You, always making promises 
Who gets the blame for your mistakes 
You, made a game of politics 
Now fear and guilt on your face 

But I can't feel your pain 
And I won't share your shame 
All I know is what I feel 
Music sets me free 

I don't mind walking in the rain 
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain 
Love is the sound that makes me sing 
I love to play a melody 

But you can't hear the sound 
But you can't, you can't feel the beat 
All I know is what I feel 
Music sets me free 

I don't mind walking in the rain 
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain 
Love is the sound that makes me sing 
I love to play a melody 

But you can't hear the sound 
But you can't, you can't feel the beat 
All I know is what I feel 
Music sets me free 

Two points of view 
Two points of view 
Two points of view 
One for me, and one for you 

But you can't hear the sound 
But you can't, you can't feel the beat 
All I know is what I feel 
Music sets me free 

Two points of view 
Two points of view 
Two points of view 
One for me and one for you 

Two points of view 
Two points of view

. . .


(Music/ Lyrics: Robbie Patton)

It's so hard just waitin' 
But I guess that's what I have to do 
My poor heart keeps on breakin' 
With every moment I'm away from you 
I know you're smart takin'
Your time 
‘Cause of what it cost you 
Once before 
But it's not then and I love 
You a lot 
Now and forever 

Chorus: 
How long do I wait before you make up your mind 
How long I wonder 
How long before you take away the hardest of times 
How long I wonder 

It's unfair when two who care 
Have to face such a perilous sea 
Despair lingers everywhere 
Like a cloud nobody can reach 
I understand you're afraid of it all 
Love is one hell of a step 
I'll be there if you panic or fall 
No matter what the depth 

Repeat Chorus 

Solo 

All I can say I've already said 
More than a thousand times 
It's up to you to believe 
Every word 
Before I lose my mind 

Repeat Chorus
