[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: David Paich]I hear the drums echoin' tonightBut she hears only whispers of some quiet conversationShe's comin' in, 12:30 flightThe moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvationI stopped an old man along the wayHopin' to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodiesHe turned to me as if to say"Hurry, boy, it's waitin' there for you" [Chorus: Bobby Kimball]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the rains down in AfricaGonna take some time to do the things we never hadOoh, ooh [Verse 2: David Paich]The wild dogs cry out in the nightAs they grow restless, longing for some solitary companyI know that I must do what's rightAs sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the SerengetiI seek to cure what's deep insideFrightened of this thing that I've become [Chorus: Bobby Kimball]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the rains down in AfricaGonna take some time to do the things we never hadOoh, ooh [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: David Paich & Bobby Kimball]"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you" [Chorus: Bobby Kimball]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from youThere's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever doI bless the rains down in AfricaI bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)I bless the rains down in AfricaI bless the rains down in Africa (I'm gonna take the time)Gonna take some time to do the things we never hadOoh, ooh [Instrumental Outro]
