Lyrics

[00:00.00] Toto.Africa
[00:11.48]
[00:30.53] I hear the drums echoing tonight
[00:34.98] But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
[00:43.18] She's coming in 12:30 flight
[00:46.47] The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
[00:55.05] I stopped an old man along the way
[00:57.99] Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
[01:05.45] He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
[01:15.85] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[01:22.17] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[01:26.97] I bless the rains down in Africa
[01:32.15] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[01:50.93] The wild dogs cry out in the night
[01:53.83] As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
[02:02.04] I know that I must do what's right
[02:05.22] Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
[02:13.84] I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
[02:24.49] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[02:29.63] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[02:34.60] I bless the rains down in Africa
[02:39.79] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[03:13.06] Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
[03:19.78] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[03:25.10] There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[03:30.33] I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:40.84] I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:51.13] I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:56.40] Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
