Africa

Hear the drums echoing tonight
 But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
 She's comin' in, 12:30 flight
 Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
 I stopped an old man along the way
 Hopin' 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 nothin' 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-hoo
 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
 It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
 There's nothin' 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-hoo
 Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you
 It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
 There's nothin' 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 down in Africa (ooh, I'm gonna take the time)
 Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-hoo
