Toto es una banda estadounidense de rock que nació en Los Ángeles en 1976. Con una mezcla única de rock, pop, jazz, blues y otros géneros, Toto se ha convertido en una leyenda musical cuyos éxitos trascienden las generaciones.
En 1976, el tecladista David Paich y el baterista Jeff Porcaro se juntaron con sus amigos de la infancia y compañeros de sesiones de grabación para formar una nueva banda. David Paich venía de una exitosa carrera como músico de sesión, trabajando con artistas como Boz Scaggs. Jeff Porcaro, igualmente talentoso, había tocado con Steely Dan y Sonny & Cher.
Completando la alineación original estuvieron Steve Lukather en la guitarra y voces, David Hungate en el bajo, Bobby Kimball en las voces principales y Steve Porcaro en los teclados.
En 1978, Toto lanzó su álbum debut homónimo, que incluía grandes éxitos como "Hold the Line". La canción alcanzó el Top 10 en las listas de Billboard, y el álbum en sí mismo fue platino en varios países. La fusión de habilidades técnicas y melodías accesibles marcó a Toto como una fuerza emergente en la música rock.
El punto culminante de su éxito llegó en 1982 con el lanzamiento de Toto IV. Contenía himnos que se convertirían en clásicos atemporales, como "Africa" y "Rosanna". "Africa", en particular, ha logrado un estatus casi místico, convirtiéndose en un favorito tanto para las generaciones más viejas como para

[Verse 1]
Where are the children we lost not long ago
Feel for the mothers who weep for them
I pray for the fathers who are standing by their side
In their world of pain and suffering
Have you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes?
They can't eat money or promises
Give them your smile, try holding out your hand
Let them know you're there, let them know you're there
[Chorus]
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home?
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll?
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart
To the bottom of your soul
[Verse 2]
You can swim in a river of tears they cry
For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty
Show us a sign and make us believe again
There's no other way, oh, there's no other way
[Chorus]
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home?
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll?
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart
To the bottom of your soul
[Chorus]
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home?
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll?
(Always remember) Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart
To the bottom of your soul
[Guitar/Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home?
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll?
Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
For it comforts you
Oh, it comforts you
Why is it always the ones that we love
Are the ones that will never come home?
Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll?
(Always remember) Always remember the voice in your head
Speaks to you when you're alone
And it comforts you
From the top of your heart
To the bottom of your soul
[Outro]
(Speaks when you're alone)
(Speaks when you're alone)
(Speaks when you're alone) Cause it comforts you
(Will they come home?) From the top of your heart!
(Speaks when you're alone) Cause it comforts you
(Speaks when you're alone) From the top of your heart!
(Speaks when you're alone) And it comforts you
(Will they come home?) From the bottom of your soul
(Speaks when you're alone) Cause it comforts you
(Will they come home?) From the bottom of your soul
