山塔那Santana Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is America
POD and Santana live in La Casa
Live and direct for you and yours
Yo America, America

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 your so beautiful

And I know that you feel this too
Will our dreams come true
I believe in you
Show me the way to my better days

What's the price to pay
If I follow you
