[Verse 1]
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers
of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that
guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten
words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
＂Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you＂
[Chorus]
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
Gonna take some time to
do the things we never have
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Gonna take some time to do
the things we never have
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
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
(I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
the things we never have
