She's coming in the 12:30 flight
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you

As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
Frightened of this thing that I've become
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
I stopped an old man along the way
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

I bless the rains down in Africa
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 seek to cure what's deep inside
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you!"
The wild dogs cry out in the night
I know that I must do what's right

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
He turned to me as if to say
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
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
