Africa - Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers
of some quiet conversation

She's coming in 12:30 flight
Her 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, 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

Gonna take some time
to do the things we never had... (Uh, Uh...)



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


[Repeat chorus]

[Instrumental break]


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 ////

Gonna take some time
to do the things we never had... (Uh, Uh...)
