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 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 men or more could ever do
+
I bless the rains down in Africa
+
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
+
The wild dogs cry out in the night
+
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
+
I know that I must do what's right
+
As 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
+
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
+
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
+
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 (ooh, ooh)
+
