I stopped an old man along the way
B B A A C#m C#m G#m G#m A A C#m C#m
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies

Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti

Frightened of this thing that I've become

About this song: Africa

The song was included on their 1982 album Toto IV, and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983 and number three on the UK Singles Chart the same month. The song was written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, who also sings both verses of the song, and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Bobby Kimball sings the chorus. The song almost cut from the Toto IV record prior to its release.
