Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she 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 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 for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right Sure as Kilimanjaro rises above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside Frightened by 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) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains) I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
