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, 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

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
 
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 passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I passed some rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had...

letting go [f.r.e.e.d.o.m.]

letting go. it's hard. no matter what you are letting go of. a person. life plans. a relationship. anything. it is hard. it hurts so badly you think you can't handle it. but is freeing. it allows you to be flexible. it opens up options that you couldn't dream are possible. it's a good thing. letting go makes you grow. makes it so that you can't just rely on others. you have to step out there on your own. be responsible. letting go. there is some freedom in it. you just have to simply, let go...
