Wings of Grace Lyrics


What shall we do with the dreams
Who see a world we can never know
Who have found a place of wonder
Where only children dare to goWhat shall we do with the dreams
Whose world has no room for hate
Whose vision of tomorrows promise
Is so far removed from our fateFor they dream of a thousand tomorrows
Each one better than the one before
A future filled with compassion
For the tired, the weak, the hungry and the poorWhat shall we do with the dreamers
Who no longer answer when we ask why
Who work to make their world better
And are unafraid to tryWhat shall we say to the dreamers
Whose lives make ours seem so bare
Who make us feel so empty
Because they dare to careFor they dream not of thing done before
But of the miracles which lie ahead
Of the needy who can be assisted

And the famished who can be fedWhat shall we make of the dreamers
When they choose not to live as we
When they say our world has no meaning
As long as others are still not freeWhat shall we think of the dreamers
When they no longer listen to what we say
When their silence leaves us uneasy
And they refuse to go awayFor they dream of fanciful figures
Poised in mid flight
Angels with wings of grace
Floating on the lightMessengers from the next world
So unfamiliar but yet not strange
Bringing word of the new world
The beginning of the change

Santana is a rock band based around talented guitarist Carlos Santana and founded in the late 1960s. The band first came to public attention after their performing the song "Soul Sacrifice" at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, when their Latin rock provided a contrast to other acts on the bill. This initial exposure made their first, eponymous album a hit at the time, followed in the next two years by successful follow-ups Abraxas and Santana III. Over the years, and despite a constantly changing line-up, Santana has achieved a total of eight Grammy Awards. In 1998, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with Carlos Santana, Jose Chepito Areas, David Brown, Mike Carabello, Gregg Rolie and Michael Shrieve being honored.

Santana was formed originally in 1967 in San Francisco, California. Carlos Santana is a Mexican-born American. Originally named The Santana Blues Band, they rose to international fame when they performed at the Woodstock festival in 1969. This led to their second studio album, Abraxas (1970), becoming a Latin-Rock standard and a huge critical and commercial success. Over the years their line-up has changed constantly, allowing them to evolve with the times. Over 50 musicians have been in Santana over its 40 year history, but the only constant has been Carlos Santana himself. Various successful bands have been spawned by Santana, most notably Journey, formed by keyboardist Gregg Rolie and guitarist Neal Schon, both key members of Santana's early days. Following a brief quiet period in the early 1990s, Santana returned to stardom by releasing two successful albums, Shama and Supernatural, featuring various guest vocalists.

Santana's original drummer Michael Shrieve was one of the youngest performers at the Woodstock Music Festival in the year 1969 at only 19 years of age.

Carlos Santana is known to use Paul Reed Smith (PRS) custom guitars, though his choice varies according to co-players. On his last album, The Best of Santana, he played a Stratocaster to match with Eric Clapton's Strato-style.
