Seven months in the making, and appearing two and a half years after Santana's last album, Beyond Appearances was produced by Val ("Bette Davis Eyes") Garay in a hot 1980s style replete with prominent synthesizers and drum machines. In the interim, the band had undergone changes, with Alphonso Johnson replacing David Margen on bass, Chester D. Thompson and David Sancious replacing Richard Baker on keyboards, Chester Cortez Thompson replacing Graham Lear on drums, and singer Greg Walker rejoining. Garay co-wrote "Say It Again" (#46), Santana's final Hot 100 entry until "Smooth" in 1999 (a remake of Curtis Mayfield's "I'm The One Who Loves You" hit #102), but this latest pop interpretation of the Santana sound did not endear it to fans, and, at a peak of #50, Beyond Appearances was the lowest charting Santana album yet.

BREAKING OUT

Standing in the valley of indecision
Trying to make some sense out of
A strange condition that we see
I’ve gotta find a way out ‘cause
Nobody would listen
So I turn my back and now I’m
On my way

Chorus:
Breaking out...I’m on my way
Breaking out...
Breaking out...I’m on my way
Breaking out...

I hear the things thy tell me but
I don’t believe it...
Gotta find a place where I can
Breathe and just be me...
Gonna shake up the world
Into a new position
Now I’m letting you know that
I am on my way...

Repeat Chorus

I can’t stop this feeling deep
Inside of me
Now I finally see the reason
Why...
In my heart I know it’s not
Some fantasy...
When I lift my eyes up to the
Sky...

SOLO

It’s a brand new day, but it
Seems like an old one
People playing games, but it’s
No game I want to play
They tried to hand me the dice
But I knw they were loaded
So I turned my back and now
I’m on my way

Repeat Chorus


WRITTEN IN SAND

Your eyes are the color of the sea
You look my way and the waves
Wash over me
Your body shivers with the
Fading light
You say, “Baby, let’s just make
It last tonight.”

And when the morning comes
You take me by the hand
And say our love is written in sand
Written in sand

We hear the ocean roar
We’re swept away on to some
Distant shore
You whisper secrets of the heart
They keep us close when the
World keeps us apart

Until tomorrow comes
Time is on our hands
Because this love is written in
Sand
Written in sand

SOLO

Nothing lies between
A woman and a man
When their love is written in sand
When their love is written in sand
When their love is written in sand


BROTHERHOOD

Brotherhood

Brotherhood...
All around - sweet brotherhood
No more us and them -
Oneness
No more politics or denominations
Brotherhood
No more war, violence, or pain
Compassion
In brotherhood, we’ll find
Joy............Dynamism
Sweetness......Softness
Soulfulness....Dignity
Tranquility....Serenity
Harmony........Perfection
Harmony........Perfection

One mind!
One truth!
One life!


SPIRIT

One day you’re up, next day
You’re down
Where does it end
War in the east, war in the south
No one can win

Hunger and strife taking the lives
Brothers and friends
Young people grow, way much
Too fast
To realize

Chorus:
That the spirit brightens up
The sun
Everything in life must be as one

Nations collide, defending
Their pride
Blood is the price
The price is too high, no need
To die
Let’s turn it around
Let’s change the face, the
Human race
Progress will come
Just take the time, look deep
Inside
We’ll understand

Repeat Chorus

Can’t you feel the spirit
Grow into the light
Can’t you see the spirit
Glowing in the night


RIGHT NOW

Somebody deceived you,
Your hearts broken into pieces
Right now (I,)
I know how you feel
I’m with you, here for you
I know just what you have been
Through
Ooo, Baby, I know how you feel

But don’t forget about tomorrow
Put aside your sorrow
And believe in me
I’m waiting here deep down
Inside you
For my love to guide you
Bring you back to me

Chorus:
I love you, said I love you
Right now!
I need you, said I need you
Right now!
I want you, said I want you
Right now!
I love you, said I love you
Right now!

You sit there pretty baby
Why don’t you stop anticipating
Ooh yeah, I want to give love
To you
I’m standing here and waiting
Your tears falling down like
Raindrops
Ooo, I want to give love to you

But don’t forget about tomorrow
Put aside your sorrow
And believe in me
I’m waiting here deep down
Inside you
For my turn to guide you
Bring you back to me

Repeat Chorus

When darkness comes
And it surrounds you
There’s a light inside you
Let it show the way
No matter how far you have fallen
You can hear the callin’
This is what is said

Repeat Chorus


WHO LOVES YOU

Walking down on Main Street
Cold chills in the air
Looking for a helping hand
Ain’t nobody there
Dreams, nightmares, and fantasies
Weave their way around
I can see past appearances
They can’t bring me down

Chorus:
But tell me
Who loves you
When you’re down and out
And you’re all alone
Who loves you
When you’ve lost your mind
And you lose control

Television, radio and all the magazines
Focus on the negative
Time and time again
Young men give their lives away
Believing in a cause
Ware is always profitable
They write you off a loss

Repeat Chorus


I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU

Chorus:
I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one who loves you
I’m the one who loves you

Little girl again you are blue
Another fellow has gone and left you
I see you’ve come back to me
Your best frind
To tell another tragic story again
And once more you look into my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize

Repeat Chorus

I must confess you’re not to be blamed
For being caught in those boys’ vicious games
This time I won’t let you go back
Never again, my dear, in fact
I’m gonna stop the blueness
In you
Also confess what my heart
Wants me to

Repeat Chorus

Just once more you look in my eyes
And one more time you ought to realize

Repeat Chorus


SAY IT AGAIN

It gives me such a thrill
When you tell me ‘bout the way
You feel
It really makes my day
I just love to hear you say

Chorus:
Say it again, say it high say it low
Say it again, so the whole wide
World will know
Say it, that you’re still lovin’ me
Still lovin’ me, still in love with me
Say it again, tell me where, tell me when

Say it again, that our love will never end
Say it, that you’re still lovin’ me
Still lovin’ me, still in love with me

You know it sounds so sweet
It just knocks me right up off of
My feet
To hear you talk that way
I just love to hear you say

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I hear the echoes in my mind
They’re calling to me all the time
I hear those voices start to sing
Again and again

Instrumental

Repeat 1st verse

Repeat Chorus


TWO POINTS OF VIEW

You, always making promises
Who gets the blame for your mistakes
You, made a game of politics
Now fear and guilt on your face

But I can’t feel your pain
And I won’t share your shame
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free

I don’t mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody

But you can’t hear the sound
But you can’t, you can’t feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free

I don’t mind walking in the rain
Ooh, tears of heaven soothe my pain
Love is the sound that makes me sing
I love to play a melody

But you can’t hear the sound
But you can’t, you can’t feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free

Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me, and one for you

But you can’t hear the sound
But you can’t, you can’t feel the beat
All I know is what I feel
Music sets me free

Two points of view
Two points of view
Two points of view
One for me and one for you

Two points of view
Two points of view


HOW LONG

It’s so hard just waitin’
But I guess that’s what I have to do
My poor heart keeps on breakin’
With every moment I’m away from you
I know you’re smart takin’
Your time
‘Cause of what it cost you
Once before
But it’s not then and I love
You a lot
Now and forever

Chorus:
How long do I wait before you make up your mind
How long I wonder
How long before you take away the hardest of times
How long I wonder

It’s unfair when two who care
Have to face such a perilous sea
Despair lingers everywhere
Like a cloud nobody can reach
I understand you’re afraid of it all
Love is one hell of a step
I’ll be there if you panic or fall
No matter what the depth

Repeat Chorus

Solo

All I can say I’ve already said
More than a thousand times
It’s up to you to believe
Every word
Before I lose my mind

Repeat Chorus
