I hear the drums echoing tonight
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation she is coming in twelve thirty flight
Moonlight wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way hoping to find some long 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 thing we never had

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 seem 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 thing we never had

Hurry boy she is 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 down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the thing we never had
