Africa

Africa - Bobby Kimball/Will provide later

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers

Of some quiet conversation

She's coming in the 12:30 flight

The moonlit wings reflect the stars

That guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old 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 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

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 bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the

Things we never had

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 bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
