Africa (feat. Casey Abrams & Snuffy Walden)

I hear the drums echoing tonight

But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation

She's comin' in, 12:30 flight

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way

Hopin' to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies

He turned to me as if to say

"Hurry, boy, its's waitin' there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to take 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

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises to Olympus above the Serengeti

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 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

It's 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 (I bless the rain)

I bless the rains down in Africa

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you

There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do

I bless the rain down in Africa

Gonna take a lot to do the things we never had
