I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she is only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming into a furry flight And
moonlight wings reflect the stars that
guide me towards salvation I saw a black old man along the way
Hoping to find some hope for gotten 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 rain down in Africa It's
gonna take some time to do the things
we never had
Wild dogs cry out in the night Zebras
blouse longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right Cherries,
calamondas,
roses like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frowning on this thing that I've become
I'm home,
home 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 rain down in Africa I bless the rain down in Africa
It's gonna
take some time to do the things we never had
