Africa (2023 Mix) (Instrumental)

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's coming in 12:30 flight

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me

towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way,

Hoping to find some long forgotten 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 rains down in Africa

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Oh

uh)

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

Serangeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside,

Frightened of this thing that I've become

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 had (Oh

uh)

"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,

I bless the rains down in Africa, (I bless the rain)

I bless the rains down in Africa, (I bless the rain)

I bless the rains down in Africa,

I bless the rains down in Africa (I'm gonna take some

time)

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (Oh

uh)
