Santana Sankofa - Ashes lyrics

Black Cream black Cream
So soothing

O-o-o-oo…So…So yeah

Like a thief in the night
Change picked the lock
Tore through (tore through)
Caught me with closed eyes
And took all I thought I knew
Never had a clue

Never stood a chance
When change is on the queue
You just gotta let her play
And sing her song for you

Take it as you will
And maybe switch up the tune
Cause you are change too
So you might as well groove

Like the women work the soil
Earth an extension of my hands
Brown on brown black and green
Throw in blue

Would you look at that i am the Land

I am, I am, I am, I am, I am what I am
(I am what I am)

Like a baby in my lap
Change needs that tender love
So vulnerable so raw what was I scared of?

I notice now when the ash hit the ashtray
How things keep needing to burn away
Dark ash is all that remains
Funny how I thought I could
Get away from change (Change)

Funny how I thought I could
Get away from change
(It’s funny how I thought I could get away)

Change never get away from change
Never never never get away from change
Never never never gonna get away from change

Never never never not in your whole life
Whole life
