I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She’s coming in, 12:30 flight
Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide us towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long-forgotten words or ancient memories
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’ll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
Ooh-ooh
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
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’ll bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
Ooh-ooh
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
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (Gonna take some time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
