Africa Lyrics
Africa - Graham Blvd.
I hear the drums echoing tonight
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,
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
To do
