Lyrics
Africa
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear the drums echoing tonight
she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's comming in twelve-thirty flight
her moonlit wing 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 man 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 from 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, frightned 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 man or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred man or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred man or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
