Toto - Africa

I HEAR THE DRUMS ECHOING TONIGHT
BUT SHE HEARS ONLY WHISPERS OF SOME QUIET CONVERSATION
SHES COMING IN, 12:30 FLIGHT
THE MOONLIGTH WINGS REFLECT THE STARS THAT GUIDE ME TOWARDS SALVATION

I STOPPED AN OLD MAN ON THE WAY
HOPING TO FIND SOME LONG FORGOTTEN WORDS OR ANCIENT MELODIES
HE TURNED TO ME AS IF TO SAY,
"HURRY BOY, ITS WAITING THERE FOR YOU"

ITS GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM YOU
THERES NOTHING THAT A HUNDRED MEN OR MORE COUUD EVER DO
I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA
GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THE THINGS WE NEVER HAD, OOOH

THE WILD DOGS CRY OUT IN THE NIGHT
AS THEY GROW RESTLESS LONGING FOR SOME SOLITARY COMPANY
I KNOW THAT I MUST DO WHATS RIGHT
AS SURE AS KILIMANJARO RISES LIKE OLYMPUS ABOVE THE SERANGETTI
I SEEK TO CURE WHATS DEEP INSIDE, FRIGHTENED OF THIS THING THAT IVE BECOME

HURRY BOY, SHES WAITING THERE FOR YOU.

ITS GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM YOU
THERES 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, OOOH
