[08:53.00]I hear the drums echoing tonight
[08:53.00]But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
[08:53.00]She's coming in, 12:30 flight
[08:53.00]The moonlit wings reflect the stars,
[08:53.00]That guide me towards salvation
[08:53.00]I stopped an old man along the way
[08:53.00]Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
[08:53.00]He turned to me as if to say,
[08:53.00]Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
[08:53.00]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[08:53.00]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa
[08:53.00]Gonna take some time to do the things we never have, oooh
[08:53.00]The wild dogs cry out in the night
[08:53.00]As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
[08:53.00]I know that I must do what's right
[08:53.00]As sure as Kilimanjaro rises as like Olympus above the Serengeti
[08:53.00]I seek to cure what's deep inside,
[08:53.00]Frightened of this thing that I've become
[08:53.00]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[08:53.00]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa
[08:53.00]Gonna take some time to do the things we never have, oooh
[08:53.00]Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.
[08:53.00]It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
[08:53.00]There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa,
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa,
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa
[08:53.00]I bless the rains down in Africa
[08:53.00]Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, oooh
