Lyrics

[00:31.86] I hear the drums echoing tonight
[00:35.35] But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
[00:43.48] She's coming in 12:30 flight
[00:47.04] The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
[00:55.11] I stopped an old man along the way
[00:58.73] Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
[01:06.79] He turned to me as if to say' "Hurry boy' it's waiting there for you"
[01:17.17] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[01:22.36] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[01:27.48] I bless the rains down in Africa
[01:32.61] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[01:50.92] The wild dogs cry out in the night
[01:54.04] As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
[02:02.48] I know that I must do what's right
[02:05.36] Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
[02:14.11] I seek to cure what's deep inside' frightened of this thing that I've become
[02:24.99] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[02:29.92] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[02:34.86] I bless the rains down in Africa
[02:39.74] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[02:47.49] Hurry boy' she's waiting there for you
[03:17.99] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[03:25.37] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[03:30.49] I bless the rains down in Africa' I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:36.11]
[03:40.79] I bless the rains down in Africa' I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:51.16] I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:55.66] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
