This song was written in response to severe droughts Africa was experiencing at the time. Hence the lyric, _"I bless the rains down in Africa."_

What a beautiful reaction. Bless you sweetheart.

AFRICA FOREVER

*I bless the rains down in Africa!!!!!!*

You look so worried girl, of course the is very nice to listen, thank you for sharing this song.

I'm crying with you

Awwwwww Sweetheart! Sister! My African Continent SISTER! I was like you 40 years ago when I heard this and fell in love for the first time! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I KNOW it resonates with you on a whole nother level!!!!!! Sista love Nubian blood….

Increible, la cancion la redescubrí hace poco y me ha hecho lo mismo, mucha nostalgia y sentimientos encontrados

I really enjoyed your video. Pulling my heart strings.

Your reaction is beautiful and very emotional to a colorful song by great artists. Of note, your sound goes off at 3:12 to 3:27 minute mark and goes very low level before that. You might want to fix that and check the rest. All the best.

Hermosa reacción ❤

I COMFORT YOU ALWAYS❤❤love YOU SOMUCH!❤❤❤❤love you so much

These are session musicians who decided to form a band. Session musicians are pros who work on songs for other people. After they wrote and performed this they didn't know it would become a hit. It's a great song! 1/17/23, 9:33 p.m.

Trivia: the line "sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti" it's not possilbe. Kilimanjaro rises above Amboseli, Serengeti is miles away.

Love from Wisconsin 👋🤝💪✌️🙏

Amei sua reacao con essa belissima musica. Abracoas aqui de Sao Paulo no Brasil

The song is about a Christian missionary. His fiance' is flying in to ask him to come back to England to get married but he has found his meaning in life by spreading the gospel and preaching the WORD in Africa. The line "Gonna take some time to do the things we never have" is telling her, I can't leave...there is still SO much left to do. It's about his passion for the LORD and the people he's teaching. It's also based on a true store that David Paich read in a Readers Digest.

Check out Toto-Africa ITALIAN ARTISTS It's a great cover of this song.❤
