AFRIKA
Toto
I hear the drumsechoin' tonight.
She hears onlywhisper of some quiet conversation
She's coming intwelvethirty flight.
Moonlit wingsreflect the stars that guide me toward salvation.
I stopped an old manalong the way,
hoping to find someone old forgotten words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me asif to say,
"Hurry,
boy,it's waiting there for you. "
It's gonna take alot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing thathundred men or more could ever do.
I bless the rainsdown in Afrika.
Gonna take some
timeto do the things we never had.
The wild dogs cryout in the night,
as they growrestless longing for some solitary company.
I know that I mustdo what's right,
sure as Kilimanjarorises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
I seem to curewhat's deep inside,
frightened of
thisthing that I've become.
It's gonna take alot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing thathundred men or more could ever do.
I bless the rainsdown in Afrika.
Gonna take some
timeto do the things we never had.
