Africa

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
