Africa

[00:24.29] I hear the drums echoing tonight

[00:27.49] But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

[00:33.49] She's coming in, 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

[00:47.05] I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies

[00:59.21] He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

[01:09.93] It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you

[01:14.69] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

[01:20.15] I bless the rains down in Africa

[01:25.24] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

[01:43.79] The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company

[01:55.41] I know that I must do what's right As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

[02:07.11] 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

[02:22.99] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

[02:27.92] 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 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 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 (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
