[00:00.00]Africa
[00:02.71]
[00:20.18]I hear the drums echoing tonight
[00:22.62]But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
[00:28.95]She's coming in 12:30 flight
[00:32.46]The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
[00:38.45]I stopped an old man along the way
[00:41.96]Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
[00:48.57]He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy,
[00:52.95]it's waiting there for you"
[00:57.60]
[00:58.56]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[01:02.87]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[01:07.66]I bless the rains down in Africa
[01:12.62]Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[01:19.39]
[01:28.40]The wild dogs cry out in the night
[01:31.17]As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
[01:37.75]I know that I must do what's right
[01:40.74]Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
[01:47.36]I seek to cure what's deep inside,
[01:50.50]frightened of this thing that I've become
[01:57.12]
[01:57.23]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[02:01.66]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[02:06.43]I bless the rains down in Africa
[02:11.46]Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[02:18.25]
[02:44.40]Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
[02:47.11]
[02:49.86]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[02:54.43]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[02:59.25]I bless the rains down in Africa,
[03:04.21]I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:09.21]I bless the rains down in Africa,
[03:13.60]I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:18.66]Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[03:27.92]
