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.' 
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 
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 Serangetti 
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become 
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 
------ 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, I passed some rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa 
I bless the rains down in Africa 
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
