Africa Lyrics by Toto

Africa Lyrics


    I hear the drums echoing tonight
    But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
    She's coming in 12:30 flight
    The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
    I stopped an old man along the way
    Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
    He turned to me as if to say, "hurry boy, it's 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 africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

    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
    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

    Chorus

    (instrumental break)

    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 down in africa, i bless the rains down in africa
    I bless the rains down in africa
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
