VERSE
Hear the drums echoing tonight
She hears only whispers of some quiet
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
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

VERSE
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like
I seek to cure what's deep inside.
CHORUS
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you.
There's nothing that I can't do now, no more can ever do.
Africa gonna take some time to do the things we never
CHORUS
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you.
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that I could never do
Africa I'll bust the race
Africa I'll bust the race
Africa I'll bust the race
Africa gonna take some time
some time to do the things
