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
 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

 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 rain)
 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
