Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, Possessing and caressing me
REFRAIN
Jai Guru Deva Om Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes, they call me on and on across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
REFRAIN
Sounds of laughter shades of light Are ringing through my open views Exciting and inviting me Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a million suns It calls me on and on across the universe

AFRICA
Intro : ta da da ta da da ta taaa x4
I hear the drums echoing tonight But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in, twelve-thirty (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"
REFRAIN : 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
ta da da ta da da ta taaa x2
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 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
REFRAIN : 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

REFRAIN : 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 (Ah, gonna take the time) Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
