I hear the drums echoing tonight, cheers only wisper of some quiet conversation. She's comming 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"
(chours) It's gonna take alot to drag me away from you there 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 company. I know that I must do what's right Sure as Killomanjearo rises like Olympus above the Sarangenti. I seek to cure what's deep inside frightened of this thing that i've become.
(Chours)
Hurry boy it's waiting she's for you!
It's 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 rains) I bless the rains down in Africa, (ooo I bless the rains) I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa, (ahhh come and take me down) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
