AFRICA by Toto

I hear the drums echo into night

She is only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's comin' in twelve thirty flight

The moonlight wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient memories

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 nothin' 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 Serengetti

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 nothin' 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

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

There's nothin' 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
