Lyrics
0:00Africa - Toto
0:31I hear the drums echoing tonight
0:34But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
0:43She's coming in 12:30 flight
0:46Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
0:54I stopped an old man along the way
0:58Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
1:06He turned to me as if to say
1:09"Hurry boy it's waiting there for you"
1:16It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
1:22There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
1:27I bless the rains down in Africa
1:32Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
1:39Ooh
1:50The wild dogs cry out in the night
1:53As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
2:02I know that I must do what's right
2:05As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
2:14I seek to cure what's deep inside
2:17Frightened of this thing that I've become
2:24It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
2:29There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
2:34I bless the rains down in Africa
2:40Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
3:13Hurry boy she's waiting there for you
3:20It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
3:25There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
3:30I bless the rains down in Africa
3:36I bless the rains down in Africa
3:39I bless the rains
3:41I bless the rains down in Africa
3:43I bless the rains
3:46I bless the rains down in Africa
3:51I bless the rains down in Africa
3:55Gonna take the time
3:57Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
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 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 Ooh 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 Serengeti 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 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 rains I bless the rains down in Africa I bless the rains 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 had
