I hear the drums echoing tonight
|
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
|
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
|
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
|
I stopped an old man along the way
|
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
|
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
|
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 Serengeti
|
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
|
|
[Repeat chorus]
