I hear the drums
echoing tonight
And she has
only whispers of some
quiet conversation
She's coming in ,
twelve - thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect
the stars that guide me
towards salvation
I stopped an old man
along the way
Hoping to find some
long - f orgotte n words
for ancient melodies
He turned to me
as if to say
“ Hurry , boy, it's waiting
there for you"
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 have For you
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
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises
like a limbless above
the sad Kenya
I seek to cure
what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing
that I've become
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 have For you
Hurry, boy, she's
waiting there for you
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 things
we never have For you
