♫ I hear the drums echoing in 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 had ♫
