CREED

Guitarist for Scott Tapp
CREED
Scott Tapp, the voice of Creed, came to put on a show in Djibouti. It was really awesome. He sang some new songs and some familiar songs. The crowd went really wild with the songs we could actually sing along with. I thought it was funny to see that he threw his sweaty towels at the crowd, and they loved it. He ended the night with "My Sacrifice".

Djiboutian Child

As soon as we get out of the van, curious children huddle around us.


Students from HOA school of English

These guys like to speak English.

My babies away from home.

This song has been stuck in my head for almost 4 months now... So I figure I can get it stuck in your head too.

Lyrics to Toto's
AFRICA


I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
Shes 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 long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, hurry boy, its waiting there for you

Chorus:
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres 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 whats right
Sure as kilimanjaro rises like olympus above the serengeti
I seek to cure whats deep inside, frightened of this thing that Ive become

Chorus

(instrumental break)

Hurry boy, shes waiting there for you

Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres 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 rains down in africa, I bless the rains down in africa
I bless the rains down in africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
