Let me begin by telling you
Something that happened turned my head around
I took a walk on a cloudy day
I met a friend, this is what he said

Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

What do you do when you gain the world?
You pay the price, baby, you lose your soul
Live in a world of make believe
It won't work, baby, can't you see?

Now is the time for a change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

Praise
Praise

It's three o' clock in the mornin'
When I'm all by myself
And I feel the spirit comin' on again

Now is the time for change
I'm trying to get to a higher place
Life is surrounded by grace
Let's join together singing songs of freedom

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.
