Lyrics:

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She’s coming in 12: 30 flight

Moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say hurry boy it’s waiting there for you

Gonna take a lot to take 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…

Ooh-ooh

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

As 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

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…

Ooh-ooh

Hurry boy she’s waiting there for you

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 rain)

I bless the rains down in Africa

(I… bless the rains)

I bless the rains down in Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa

(Ah… gonna take some time)

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…

Ooh-ooh
