Lirik lagu Africa sendiri seutuhnya seperti ini:

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 old 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 bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

 Memang terhitung cukup menggambarkan Afrika untuk ukuran ia yang tidak pernah pergi ke Afrika saat menuliskan lirik tersebut.

Menyoal Teori Out of Africa

Afrika tidak lagi dipandang sebagai tempat lahirnya peradaban dunia: asal-usul manusia dimulai di Eropa, tulis Simon Mercieca dari Universitas Malta. Ia mengutip tulisan Sarah Knapton  di The Daily Telegraph berkenaan dengan temuan Prof. David Begun dari Departmen Antropologi Universitas Toronto.
