It's been so long since I've seen your face
Yet I know soon I'll have your embrace
I'll be waiting
Waiting just for you
Life keeps afloat and my love grows and grows
You are the light, girl, you're the light and the way
I'll be waiting
Waiting just for you
Oh, it's been a long by, I don't mind
Rhythm deep, to know the earth
Keep waiting, waiting
Waiting just for you, oh
Life keeps afloat and my love grows and grows, yeah
You are the light, you are the light and the way, baby
Keep waiting, waiting
Beauty and grace is what touches me most
Good times can put me in fear
I always feel safe when things are bad
So I cannot let you come near
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you have come and you bring out the tears in me
Pain never makes me cry but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by you
Wishing it was, wishing it was more like the fantasy
Everyday surprises me, yeah, wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
This feeling won't last 'cause I cannot survive
I can tell you have been here before
We're moving so fast it's a matter of time
'Til one of us walks out that door
It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things
I always feel alive when the death bell rings
Now you come and you bring out the tears in me
Pain never makes me cry but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by you
Wishing it was, wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me, yeah, wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
[Incomprehensible]
Wishing it was you
Give this some thought and I'm sure you will know
This is the way it must be
Emotions will rise, emotions will flow
You bring out the tears in me
Pain never makes me cry but happiness does
It's so strange to watch your life walk by you
Wishing it was, wishing it was more like a fantasy
Where everyday surprises me, wishing it was
[Incomprehensible] wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Yes, I'm wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Oh, I'm wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Yes, I'm wishing it was
Oh, oh, oh
Wishing it was
Yes I'm wishing it was

Ladies and gents
Turn up this sound system
To the sound of Carlos Santana
And the GMB
Ghetto blues from the refugee camp
Oh Maria, Maria
She remind me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
([Incomprehensible], Maria)
She fell in love in East LA
To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
Played by Carlos Santana
Stop the looting, stop the shooting
Pick pocking on the corner
See as the rich is getting richer
The poor is getting poorer
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
In my mailbox there's an eviction letter
Somebody just said see you later
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(East coast)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(West coast)
Maria, Maria
She remind me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria
She fell in love in East L.A.
I said to the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah
(By who?)
Played by Carlos Santana
I said a la favella los colores
The streets are getting hotter
There is no water to put out the fire
Mi canto la esperanza
Se mira Maria on the corner
Thinkin' of ways to make it better
Then I looked up in the sky
Hoping of days of paradise
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(North side)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(South side)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(World wide)
Ahora vengo mama chola, mama chola
Ahora vengo mama chola
(Open up your eyes)
Maria you know you're my lover
When the wind blows
I can feel you through the weather
And even when we are apart
It still feel like we're together, Maria, yeah
She remind me of a westside story
Growing up in Spanish Harlem
She livin' her life just like a movie star
Oh, Maria, Maria, oh
She fell in love in East L.A.
To the sounds of the guitar
Played by Carlos Santana
Put 'em up y'all
Carlos Santana with the refugee camp
Wyclef, Jerry Wonder, Mr. Santana, GMB
Where you are, that's where I wanna be
And through your eyes, all the things I wanna see
And in the night you are my dream
You're everything to me
You're the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand, lead me there
What I need is you here
I can't forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can't forget when we are one
You alone I am free
Everyday, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
Oh, oh, yeah, alright, alright
Everyday, every night, you alone
You're the love of my life
We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing till the sunrise
What shall we do with the dreams
Who see a world we can never know
Who have found a place of wonder
Where only children dare to go
What shall we do with the dreams
Whose world has no room for hate
Whose vision of tomorrows promise
Is so far removed from our fate
For they dream of a thousand tomorrows
Each one better than the one before
A future filled with compassion
For the tired, the weak, the hungry and the poor
What shall we do with the dreamers
Who no longer answer when we ask why
Who work to make their world better
And are unafraid to try
What shall we say to the dreamers
Whose lives make ours seem so bare
Who make us feel so empty
Because they dare to care
For they dream not of thing done before
But of the miracles which lie ahead
Of the needy who can be assisted
And the famished who can be fed
What shall we make of the dreamers
When they choose not to live as we
When they say our world has no meaning
As long as others are still not free
What shall we think of the dreamers
When they no longer listen to what we say
When their silence leaves us uneasy
And they refuse to go away
For they dream of fanciful figures
Poised in mid flight
Angels with wings of grace
Floating on the light
Messengers from the next world
So unfamiliar but yet not strange
Bringing word of the new world
Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My mu equita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
Yeah
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart make it real or else forget about it
I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it would be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name callin' me out
Well, out from the barrio
You hear my rhythm from your radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you 'round and 'round
And if you say this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
'Cause you're so smooth
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart make it real or else forget about it
And just like the ocean under the moon
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Gimme your heart make it real or else forget about it, yeah
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
Or else forget about it
(Gimme your heart make it real)
Or else forget about it
(Yeah)
Let's don' forget about it
(Oh, no no)
Let's don' forget about it
(Oh, no no)
Let's don' forget about it
(Yeah)

The world divides from the bitter sweetness love provides
I will redefine my place within this union
If the word is a lie and the better me can't show it's side
I will try to find my way to higher ground
Ah oh there's a million stories
And a million ways to get there from here
Baby I'm gonna put your skin on mine, be inside you all my life
And if you let your heart open up your mind
There's a whole new world on the other side
I'm gonna be your satellite n I'll hang over your world at night
And I can hear you sleep beneath the candle light
I can see your dreams like they were mine
Oh way oh
Oh way oh
Oh way oh
Way oh way oh
When I, I hear you scream I hear you cry
It's makes me realise that I am only human
The world relies on the balance between love and pride
And I'll abandon all my pride and bring you love
Ah oh oh oh
There's a million reasons
And a million ways to get to your heart
Baby I'm gonna make you step outside the corners of your world
And find that if you let your heart open up your mind
There's a whole new world on the other side

Tell me just what you want me to be
One kiss and boom you're the only one for me
So please tell me, why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now I'm crying outside the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe it's all in the game of
Love is whatever you make it to be
Sunshine instead of this cold lonely sea
So pleased baby, try and use me for what I'm good for
It ain't saying goodbye, it's knocking down the door of your candy store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe it's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
You roll me, control me
Console me, please hold me
You guide me, divide me into, woah
So please tell me, why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now I'm dying outside the door of your loving store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm telling you my babe, it's all in the game of love
(A little bit of this, a little bit of that)
It's all in this game of love, it's all in the game of love

Live and direct for you and yours
Yo, America
Was it the way that she looked at me
She had caught my eye, she stole my heart, she freed my mind
The way we loved it was magical, truly wonderful
It was me and you so beautiful
And I know that you feel this too
Will our dreams come true, I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days
What's the price to pay if I follow you
America, America
Will you come back to me baby, please don't run, away don't let me go
America, America
Can you get back to me baby, please don't run away I need you so
I trust in you still you walk away, you just ran away
I thought our love would never change
The way you move had me hypnotized, now I realize
I fell again for the same old lies
Plans you change the present rearranged
If we don't know the past, the future we can not change
So I maintain, dealt my hands so I deal with it
Know what is truth myself, I stay real with it
America, America
Will you come back to me baby, please don't run away, don't let me go

Welcome to my diary here's another letter,
I keep that white girl just call me Hew Hefner,
I'm Heavy wit da birds so you should cop a feather,
and my Money run's long like sleeves on a sweater,
damn I make it flood I am just bad weather,
or something like sex, i just keep gettin better,
and better... and better... and if life is like a clit,
den i'm goin at it hard like a man up in his bitch,
and I'm fuckin it too rough do you think I need to quit,
but my flow is so Viagra and hip hop is my dick,
so fuck all the men and woman who don't like it,
i will leave em in the ocean like the titanic,
and yes I got dat yah bitch workin on my strip,
and I'm all up in dat ass like where is my shyt,
The boy so coldshe likes my stick,
I'm the human popsicle that all the girls lick,
So let make it clear I am only havin fun,
And If they sleepin on me well the nightmare has begun,
I will crush em 1 by 1 they fake like water guns,
And when I make it rain I leave em beggin for the sun,
Them niggaz so soft... I call em hon-ney-bunz,
I'll bring em war wit stars like... O-bi-Wun,
Wit Army Guns... so O-Be-Have,

Since the moment I spotted you,
Like walkin' 'round with little wings on my shoes,
My stomach's filled with butterflies,
Ooh, and it's alright,
Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down,
If I said I didn't like it, then you know I lied,
Ooh.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I try to talk to you,
I get tongue tied,
Turns out that everything I say to you comes out wrong,
It never comes out right.
[Chorus]
So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
Take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I hold eachother,
Fly to the moon and straight onto Heaven,
'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in.
When's this fever gonna break,
I think I've handled more than any man can take,
I'm like a love sick puppy chasin' you around,
Ooh, and it's alright,
Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud,
I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down,
If I said I didn't like it, then you know I lied,
Ooh.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I try to talk to you,
I get tongue tied,
Turns out that everything I say to you comes out wrong,
It never comes out right.
[Chorus]
So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
Take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
Fly to the moon and straight onto Heaven,
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
Slowly I begin to realise this is never gonna end,
Right about the same time you walked by,
I said Lord here we go again,
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I try to talk to you,
I get tongue tied,
Turns out that everything I say to you comes out wrong,
It never comes out right.
[Chorus]
So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
Take on the world and be together forever,
Heads we will, tails we'll try again,
So I'll say why don't you and I get together,
Fly to the moon and straight onto Heaven,
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in.
I am a victim of my time
A product of my age
There was no choosing my direction
I was a holy man but now
With all my trials behind me
I am weak in my conviction
And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
You were a victim of my crimes
A product of my rage
You were a beautiful distraction
I kept you locked away outside
And let misery provide
And now I am ashamed
And so I walk to try to find a space
Where I can be alone to live with my mistakes
And the fear that will come from knowing
That the one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
I am victim of my time
A product of my age
You alone are my obsession
You were the one I left behind
You've been heavy on my mind
It's been a lonely road I've traveled
And so I walk to try to get away
Knowing that someday I will finally have to face
The fear that will come from knowing that
The one thing I had left was you
And now you're gone
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I could use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
Is there nothing at all
That I can do to turn your heart?
Is there nothing to lean on
That could help erase the scars?
Te quiero, me quiero
And I can use a little strength before I fall
Is there nothing at all?
