"Africa" is the opening song from the 2004 comedy film Mean Girls. The song was performed by Toto.
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 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
Ooh-ooh
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 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
Ooh-ooh
"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)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I'm gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do
The things we never had
Ooh-ooh
