Song Lyrics
I hear the drums echoing tonight.
She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.
She’s coming in twelve thirty flight,
The moonlit winds 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”
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 company
I know that I must do what’s right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like an Empress 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.
(Instrumental)
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 (x3).
