my favorite line: "I seek to cure what's deep inside frightened of this thing that I've become."

I love this song. I always associated it with an Australian girl that I was fond of, who returned home in 1982. I saw her plane going past Africa to Australia.
Recently I looked at the lyrics and reviewed members comments about them and I got a different slant on the song.
Toto released the song in 1982. Barack Obama's father died that year. He came from a traditional sheep owning tribe in Kenya. he was determined to learn about Western modern ways of life and initially worked in a Colonial type club in Kenya. From there he sent applications to Universities...

Toto released the song in 1982. Barack Obama's father died that year. He came from a traditional sheep owning tribe in Kenya. he was determined to learn about Western modern ways of life and initially worked in a Colonial type club in Kenya. From there he sent applications to Universities in America. The rest of his family derided his efforts to learn about Western values (Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do). His university application was successful and he was set to fly to America (She's coming in 12:30 flight, The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation). Did he have last minute doubts?. ( 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").
Musicians are communicators and also visionaries (The Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones). I read that Toto was comprised of really experienced musicians. Could they have anticipated that the son of this humble sheep herder would in 16 years be the president of the most powerful nation on Earth. Only 14 years before that Martin Luther King said "Ive been to the mountain top and seen the promised land". Food for thought?
i really love africa
