  • I lay not sleeping
    Don't know what to do
    Lay out in waiting
    Lord for the noon

    Pass so slowly
    Time without you
    I can't see why
    My open eyes can't see

    So much to look by
    So many things to be
    Can't keep looking
    In and out of me
    She looks at nothing
    Someone you all have seen
    She never cried
    As I watched her leave

    Try to help me
    Find the change in me
    Oh, oh, oh

    Try to help me
    Find the change in me
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Gregg Rolie, Jose Areas

  • Lester from New York City, NyFirst three Journey albums (pre Steve Perry) are rock-fusion albums. Seems Greg and Neal wanted to get somewhat jazzy themselves. The third album, 'Next' is spectacular.
  • Michael from Sacramento, CaThe final guitar solo is played by Neal Schon. Neal gets just about half of the guitar solo space on this album, including the solo on Everybody's Everything.
  • Michael from Chicago, IlYes, the item about the song being performed during a band dispute is true: Carlos wanted to go in a more jazzy direction than Greg and Neal. Also, a lot of people don't know that the bassist (who often seems to be the first instrument you hear on the first SANTANA albums, was David Brown, a cousin of Sly Stone.
