I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlight wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long-forgotten words of 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
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have*

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 Olympus above the Seragetti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

*repeat

"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 [x5]
Gonna take some time to do the things we never have
