Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
but she hears only whispers off
some quiet conversation
she's coming in 12:30 flight
the moonlight wings reflect
the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
hoping to find some long forgotten
words or ancient melodies
He turns 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 as sure as kilimanjaro rises
like olympus above the Serengetti I seek to cure what's deep inside
frightened of this things 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
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
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 passed some rains down in Africa
i bless the rains down in Africa i passed some rains down in Africa
i bless the rains down in Africa
gonna take some time to do the things we never had
