CeeLo Green - Africa lyrics
[CeeLo Green - Africa lyrics]
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 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
Take 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 now 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
Take 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 now to do
The things we never have
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
(So whatcha gonna do?)
It's gonna take a lot to
Take 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 now to do
The things we never have
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 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
Take 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 now 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
Take 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 now to do
The things we never have
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
(So whatcha gonna do?)
It's gonna take a lot to
Take 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 now to do
The things we never have
