Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in twelve-thirty flight Her moonlit 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 turned to me as if to say "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa Going to 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 Olympus above the Serengeti I seek to cure what's deep inside Frightened of this thing that I've become Gonna to take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa Going to take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I'll bless the rains down in Africa I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains) I'll bless the rains down in Africa (I'll bless the rains) I'll bless the rains down in Africa I'll bless the rains down in Africa (going take some) Going take some time to do the things we never had
