Verse
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversa --tion
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salva--tion
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo-dies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry boy its waiting there for you
Chorus
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 Afri-ca
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
Verse
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 Seren-geti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
Chorus
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 Afri-ca
Gonna take some time to do the things we never haaaaaaaaaave
Outro
I bless the rains down in Afri-ca
repeat
