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 (winds )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 (ooh, ooh)
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 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 (ooh, ooh)
(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 rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
