She hears only whispers of some quiet convers   a  tion

She's coming in, twelve thirty flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me toward salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies

B                     D#m          G#m                           A                          C#m
He turned to me as if to say "hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

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

B             D#m                         G#m                                    A                          C#m
I seek to cure what's deep inside.   Frightened of this thing that I've become

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…
