Santana

Released: February 1, 1985

[Verse 1]
Standing in the valley of indecision
Trying to make some sense out of
A strange condition that we see
I've got to find a way out because
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

[Verse 2]
I hear the things thy tell me but
I don't believe it
Got to find a place where I can
Breathe and just be me
Going to shake up the world
Into a new position
Now I'm letting you know that
I am on my way

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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
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 know they were loaded
So I turned my back and now
I'm on my way

[Chorus]

Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947 in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco) is a Mexican and American musician who became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American music. Carlos prefers to only play and leave lead vocals to guest singers. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003 Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won ten Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards.
