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 stop to know that along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient
melodies
I stopped an old man along to say, "Hurry boy,
it's waiting there for you"
(Chorus)
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
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 Memphis above
the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened
of this thing that I've become
(Chorus)
(Instrumental break)
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 passed some
rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some
rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never
had
