    The document contains the lyrics to the song "Africa" by Toto. The song describes a journey through Africa with references to drums, moonlit wings, an old man sharing forgotten words and melodies, Kilimanjaro rising above the Serengeti, wild dogs crying at night, and blessing the rains down in Africa.
