Santana - Body Surfing Lyrics






Took a walk, down by the ocean
I was alone, nothing on my mind
As I stood there, I saw the devotion
That the surf had with the shore
Suddenly
I felt this emotion, of the sea
Pulling me

[CHORUS:]
Big Kahuna, tide was high
I began bodysurfing for my life

Ecstasy, sky and the sea
Embracing me
Golden sun on my face
Giving life to me

Unafraid I let go
Trusting in the deep blue sea
We became one with each other
Watching the tide as it drifts away

[CHORUS]

I spoke to me daddy
Said to me, son
You got to go find a job
And bring some money into the family
For your mommy and me

I say, Daddy, me want to go to the seashore
And bodysurf all day long
Me no wanna work
Me wanna play
Me wanna bodysurf all day
Me told him
Me wanna go bodysurfing
Me tell him
Me tell him
No, me wanna go

    I really want to go to the sea shore and body surf all day. Endless Summer.

    I agree the Alex era of Santana were clearly the best. I mean we had Inner Secrets, Marathon, Shango, and Zebop. I love that time. But then it was like the best time for music all around. from like 76 to 81 the music was phenomenal

    D.... d....

    Dash dEN Inner Secrets had Greg Walker as a singer. Not Alex.

    D.... d....

  22. A.... M....

    the Alex-era Santana was clearly the best ever. The songs were the greatest and production was top notch and the musicians second to none. Knowing this material exists, i don't even listen to the sub-par earlier Santana stuff hardly at all anymore. Alex is very likely one of the greatest singers alive today.  

    A.... M....

    +Aaron M Well put Aaron so true! Big part of the sucsess of Santana was the voice of Alex and Greg Walker! If you like hear Alex he is playing with the band called The Magic of Santana check them out here on youtube!

    A.... M....

    Totally agree Aaron. So many of his songs with Santana are just so pure and soulful. Winning is my favourite

    A.... M....

    If you consider early Santana the Subpar stuff, then you're clearly NOT a longtime follower of the band. That was the Meat & Potatoes of the musical dish they were serving up... Although I like the Alex era, this is definitely the watered down preservatives of the Santana Sound !🤷🏽‍♂️

  23. a.... S....

    mmmmmmmm....

  24. r.... c....

    No dislikes, my year has been made.

    r.... c....

    how can ANYONE dislike Santana? ridiculous notion.

  25. S.... J....

    One of the best albums of Santana!!!! Where's the Chillum.....

  26. S.... F....

    satanas inimigode JESUS e shango e um pai de santo entidade do mal mas eu acredito no SENHOR AQUEM CANTO LOUVORES

  27. M.... R....

    GREAT . NOT A SINGLE DISLIKE

  28. J.... G....

    It sounds like body surfing.

  29. J.... O....

    Man this is cray

  30. t.... m....

    My favorite Santana music is the first 3 albums but I love Alexander Ligertwood and his voice (my second favorite era of Sanatana)

  31. R.... ....
