It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take
It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take

Early in the morning
Get your concentration
On your meditation
Take the right direction

For future destination
For future destination
It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take

Talk about your woman
Give her some respect
She'll give you her devotion
Not just outside emotion

Talk about your country
There's really no such thing for me
The whole world, the whole world
Is one big family

It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take

Talk about your country
There's really no such thing for me
The whole world, the whole world
Is one big family

It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take
It's a game of give and take
Life's a game of give and take

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.
