Africa

[00:30.72] I hear the drums echoing tonight

[00:34.44] But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

[00:42.41] She's coming in twelve-thirty flight

[00:46.13] Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

[00:54.10] I stopped an old man along the way

[00:57.55] Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

[01:05.79] He turned to me as if to say

[01:09.24] "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

[01:15.88] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

[01:21.19] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

[01:26.24] I bless the rains down in Africa

[01:31.28] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, oh

[01:49.35] The wild dogs cry out in the night

[01:53.07] As they grow restless longing for some solitary company

[02:01.30] I know that I must do what's right

[02:04.22] Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

[02:12.99] I seek to cure what's deep inside

[02:16.44] Frightened of this thing that I've become

[02:23.08] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

[02:28.39] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

[02:33.44] I bless the rains down in Africa

[02:38.49] It's gonna take some time to do the things we never had, oh

[03:11.96] "Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

[03:18.60] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

[03:23.91] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

[03:28.96] I bless the rains down in Africa

[03:33.74] I bless the rains down in Africa

[03:39.32] I bless the rains down in Africa

[03:44.36] I bless the rains down in Africa

[03:49.41] I bless the rains down in Africa

[03:54.72] It's gonna take some time to do thethings we never had, oh
