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]
