Africa - TOTO
I hear the drums echoin tonight
She has only whispers of some quiet conversa - tion
She's coming in twelve thirthy flight the moolight winds
Reflect the stars that guide me toward salva-tion
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words of ancient melo-dies
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 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
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary compa-ny
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as kilimangiaro rises like olimpus above the seranget-ti
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
hurry boy it'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 [REPEAT X4]
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
