Intro

Verse

I hear the drums echoing tonight

She hears only whispers of some quiet conver- sa- tion  

She’s coming in, twelve thirty flight

The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward sal- va- tion  

I stopped an old man along the way

Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melo dies  

He turned to me as if to say “hurry boy, it’s waiting there for you”

Verse

The wild dogs cry out in the night

As they grow restless longing for some solitary com- pa- ny  

I know that I must do what’s right

As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Ser- enge- ti  

I seek to cure what’s deep in- side

Frightened of this thing that I’ve be- come

Interlude

Bridge

“hurry boy, she’s waiting there for you”

Outro

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 Afri- ca

I bless the rains down in Afri- ca

I bless the rains down in Afri- ca

I bless the rains down in Afri- ca

I bless the rains down in Afri- ca

Gonna take some time to do the things we never had…
