Lyrics
Verse 1:I hear the drums echoing tonight,
but she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, twelve-thirty flight,
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me t’wards 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…"
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,
Verse 2:
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.
Chorus 2
Bridge
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
Chorus 3:
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.

What other choirs say about ChorusOnline
100% legal sheet music
ChorusOnline has been working honestly and professionally from the start (2008).
Honest because we work with the permission of the copyrights holders. We are assisted by BINGH lawyers in Amsterdam, specialized in copyright.
Professional because we only work with highly trained arrangers who have years of experience. In addition, each arrangement is checked by both the ChorusOnline team and the copyrights holder. So we can guarantee the highest possible quality.
Copyright Act and linking to copyrights holders
Arranging and selling (making public) of arrangements is prohibited without the permission of the copyrights holders. This is described in article 1 of the Copyright Act
You can download the English version of the Copy Right Act here.
Our high-tech payment system is linked to the copyrights holders. At the moment of payment, the copyrights holder (the artist) receives his/her royalties within a few seconds and you, our customer, a legal package (PDF + MP3). Our packages have been put together with the greatest care and are approved by the copyrights holder.
Costs and your choice.
This all means that, due to royalties, we are probably a bit more expensive than other providers/arrangers. If an arrangement is offered cheaper by someone else, you can be almost certain that it is an illegal arrangement that is duping our team of professionals.
More and more choirs worldwide appreciate our approach and therefore choose legal sheet music via ChorusOnline. We rely on the same approach during the ordering process: honestly indicate the amount of choir members, you will sing with a better feeling. In this way, our team can continue to enlarge our beautiful legal choir catalogue.
Kind Regards
