(+) Olympus
I hear the drums
echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers
of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The 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＂
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 have
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
As 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
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 have
Hurry boy,
she's waiting there for you
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
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do
the things we never have
