Intro : (x4)
I hear the d rums echoing toni ght
But s he hears only w hispers of some q uiet conver sation
She's coming in 12 :30 flight
The m oonlit wings re flect the stars that gu ide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along th e way
Hoping to find some long forgotten wo rds or ancient melodie s
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's wa iting ther e for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me aw ay from you
There's nothing that a h undred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some t ime to do the thin gs we ne ver ha d
(x4)
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 Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
(Couplet Instrumental)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there 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 down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
