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
long forgotten words
or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry boy it's
waiting there for you
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
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
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
Hurry boy she's
waiting there for you
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 rains
down in Africa
I bless the rains
down in Africa
I bless the rains
down in Africa
Gonna take some time
to do the
things we never had
