Africa |
| I hear the drums echoing tonight |
| But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation |
| She's coming in, 12:30 flight |
| The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation |
| I stopped an old man along the way |
| Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies |
| He turned to me as if to say |
| "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" |
| It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you |
| There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| Gonna take some time to do the things we never had |
| The wild dogs cry out in the night |
| As they grow restless longing for some solitary company |
| I know that I must do what's right |
| Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olypmus above the Serengeti |
| I seek to cure what's deep inside |
| Frightened of this thing that I've become |
| It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you |
| There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| Gonna take some time to do the things we never had |
| Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you |
| It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you |
| There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| I bless the rains down in Africa |
| Gonna take some time to do the things we never had |
