Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the new change
Come around, come around
Come around, come around
Waitin' for the day when the king, queen of shows
Singing, round, singing round, singing round
Singing round, singing round, singing round for everyone
Yeah do it
You can understand everything to share
Let your spirits dance brothers everywhere
Let your head be free
Turn the wisdom key
Find it naturally
See you're lucky to be
If you're sad just spin around
And round and round
Do it
Yes just hold me baby
Something on your back
Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down, lay it down
Don't you know honey maybe
You're like my childless hometown
This whole town, this whole town, this whole town
See it now
Time for you to all get down
Yeah do it
Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready
Dig this sound
Spinnin' round and round and round

Sing it now
Time for you to all get down

Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready
