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
(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
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
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
