    The document contains lyrics to the song "Africa" by Toto. It describes a journey through Africa, hearing drums and whispers, seeing the moonlit wings reflect stars that guide towards salvation. An old man is met who urges hurry, there is something waiting. It will take a lot to drag away from a lover, as nothing 100 men can do. Wild dogs cry at night as they long for company. Blessing the rains down in Africa, it will take time to do things never had.

    AFRICA Toto

    G Bm 4x

    A C#m F#m
    I hear the drums echoing tonight
    F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
    She hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
    A C#m F#m
    She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
    F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
    The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
    A C#m F#m
    I stopped an old man along the way
    F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
    Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
    A C#m F#m
    He turned to me as if to say
    F#m/E G Bm
    Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you

    Em C G D
    It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
    There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do

    Gonna take some time to do the things we never

    A C#m F#m
    The wild dogs cry out in the night
    F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
    As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
    A C#m F#m
    I know that I must do what's right
    F#m/E G Bm F#m G Bm
    As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
    A C#m F#m
    I seek to cure what's deep inside...
    F#m/E G Bm
    Frightened of this thing that I've become
    Em C G D
    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
    Em C G
    Gonna take some time to do the things we never
