TOTO-Africa (1982)

Best of the 80´s. Africa by Toto
The rock band delivered with their album Toto IV one of the most successful records of the 80s. The album featured 3 singles that reached top 10 in the charts on the entire globe: Africa (my personal favourite), Rosanna, And I Won´t Hold you Back.
Lyrics:
AFRICA
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, its waiting there for you
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 bless the 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
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
Chorus
(instrumental break)
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 bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had.

I was born on 1992 but I like 80's music. I think it was the best years of music......all performances were amazing.
