You hear the thudding of soft drums, an almost tinkling counterpoint, and then the words come softly:
I hear the drums echoing tonight…
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversations…
…Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti -
..and the drums continue. Africa …
I think, somehow, we all have an affinity for The Skull-Shaped Continent. Did life come from there? I don't know, but we all have roots in its soil, we all have images in our minds of bright clothing, of mountains or plains, deserts - all the fabulous wealth of human civilization, some of them existing in our knowledge only as memories.
And every time I hear Toto's song I stop and hear the drums…
I love Africa! It sounds so soothing to me. And Toto is one of my favorite bands. (And you have captcha on. )
