AFRICA TOTO -------------------------------------------------------------------- I hear the drums echo into night She is only whispers of some quiet conversation. f'@ She's comin' in twelve-thirty flight, The moonlight wings reflect the stars j@Y That guide me toward salvation. I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some old forgotten words Or ancient memories. He turned to me as if to say "Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you." Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothin' 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. 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 Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti. I seek to cure what's deep inside I Frightened of this thing that I've become. Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you . . . Hurry, boy, she's waitting there for you - Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you, I bless the rain down in Africa, I bless the rain down in Africa, . . . Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.
