Africa

I bless the rains down in Africa
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Frightened of this thing that I've become
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
The wild dogs cry out in the night
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"

He turned to me as if to say

I seek to cure what's deep inside
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
I bless the rains down in Africa
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
She's coming in the 12:30 flight

I stopped an old man along the way
I know that I must do what's right
I bless the rains down in Africa
