Africa - Toto

Blurb:
"Africa" is a song by '80s rock band Toto. The song's catchy chorus is a metaphor for how much the writer loves his woman, hence "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". The song was included on their 1982 album Toto IV, and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983. The song was written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, who also sings both verses of the song, and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Bobby Kimball sings the chorus.

Scroll and Sing:
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 stop to know that along the way
Hoping to find some long 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 passed some 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 company
I know that I must do what’s right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the serangetti
I seek to cure what’s deep inside, frightened of this thing that I’ve
become

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 passed some rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

(Chorus)

----INSTRUMENTAL----

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 passed some rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I passed some rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I passed some rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
