It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I stopped an old man along the way
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
The wild dogs cry out in the night
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
He turned to me as if to say
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I seek to cure what's deep inside
I know that I must do what's right
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I bless the rains down in Africa
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
She's coming in the 12:30 flight
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
