Africa - TOTO (lyrics)

      I hear the drums echoing tonight.
      She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation.
      She is coming in twelve thirty flight.
      Moonlit wings reflect the stars
      that guide me towards salvation.


      I stopped an old man along the way
      hoping to find some long 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.


      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 seem to cure what's deep inside,
      frightened of this thing that I've become…


      Repeat **
      (Instrumental)


      Repeat *


     Repeat **


      I bless the rains down in Africa…………5 x
      Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
