 Africa – TOTO  |  || x4
I  hear the drums echoin  tonight
She  has only whispers  of some quiet  conversa  - tion
She's  coming in twelve  thirthy flight  the moolight  winds
  Reflect  the stars that guide  me toward salva-tion
I  stopped an old  man along the way
Hoping  to find some old  forgotten words  of ancient melo-dies
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  nothing that a hundred  men or more  could ever  do MTM
  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 compa-ny
I  know that  I must do what's right
Sure  as kilimangiaro rises  like olimpus  above the seranget-ti
  I  seek to cure  what's deep inside
Frightened  of this thing  that I've become
  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
 ^
 hurry boy it's  waiting there  for you
  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
