Africa (Album Version)

[00:31.34] I hear the drums echoing tonight
[00:34.91] But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
[00:42.95] She's comin' in, 12:30 flight
[00:46.38] Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
[00:54.53] I stopped an old man along the way
[00:58.26] Hopin' to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
[01:06.45] He turned to me as if to say
[01:09.99] "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"
[01:16.42] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[01:21.86] There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
[01:27.07] I bless the rains down in Africa
[01:32.05] We're gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[01:39.26] Ooh-hoo
[01:42.39]
[01:50.10] The wild dogs cry out in the night
[01:53.57] As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
[02:01.73] I know that I must do what's right
[02:04.80] Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
[02:13.67] I seek to cure what's deep inside
[02:17.05] Frightened of this thing that I've become
[02:21.70]
[02:23.72] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[02:29.00] There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
[02:34.05] I bless the rains down in Africa
[02:39.21] We're gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[02:46.27] Ooh-hoo
[02:49.32]
[03:12.61] "Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"
[03:19.26] It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[03:24.48] There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do
[03:29.79] I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:35.07] I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
[03:40.00] I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
[03:45.53] I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:50.41] I bless the rains down in Africa
[03:55.51] We're gonna take some time to do the things we never had
[04:02.58] Ooh-hoo
[04:03.40]
