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 (7)__________ 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 (8)________ time to do the things we never had
