I hear the drums echoing tonight <br />But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation <br />She's coming in twelve-thirty flight <br />Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation <br />I stopped an old man along the way <br />Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies <br />He turned to me as if to say: “Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you” <br /><br />[Chorus:] <br />It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you <br />There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do <br />I bless the rains down in Africa <br />Gonna take some time to do the things we never had <br /><br />The wild dogs cry out in the night <br />As they grow restless longing for some solitary company <br />I know that I must do what's right <br />Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti <br />I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become <br /><br />[Repeat chorus] <br /><br />[Instrumental break] <br /><br />Hurry boy, she's waitïng there for you
