[Intro Spoken: P.O.D.]
This is America
POD and Santana live in La Casa
Live and direct for you and yours
Yo America, America

[Verse 1: P.O.D.]
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 (I believe in you)
Show me the way to my better days
What's the price to pay
If I follow you?

[Chorus: P.O.D.]
America, America
Will you come back to me?
Baby please don't away don't let me go
America, America
Can you get back to me
Baby don't run away I need you so?

[Verse 2: P.O.D.]
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 the same old lies

[Rap]
Plans you change the present rearranged
If we don't know the path the future we can't attain
So I maintain, dealt my hands so I deal with it
Know what is truth myself
I stay real with it

[Chorus: P.O.D.][x2]

Santana

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.
