MOTHER EARTH:

Hey everybody
Let's lend a hand
'Cause there's no tomorrow
Unless we take a stand

I see the future
Sliiping away
So I feel the need
To make a better way

You know my mother
She's your mother too
'Cause this here planet
Gave birth to me and you

I got the feeling
That you'll understand
When we say let's do it
Save the mother earth

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.
