Africa (Toto)
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 way from you
There's nothing that a hundred men
or more couldever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take sometime to do the things we
never haaaad (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, *Ouh Ouh* longing for
some solitary Company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro *Ouh Ouh* rises like
Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frighten 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 haaad (ouh, ouh)
SOLO
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 rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we
never haaad (ouh, ouh)
