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

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 an empress above the Serengheti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

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'm gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh ooh

"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)
I bless the rains down in Africa (ah, I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (gonna take the time)
I'm gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh ooh
