Small lyrical change to the song "Africa" by Toto

The Issue

The lyrics to the song Africa contain the line "I bless the rains down in Africa". This makes absolutely no sense. I would like to petition to have the lyrics changed to "I miss the rains down in Africa". This is the way most people sing it. It is traumatizing to see that the lyrics you have sung for 30 years are completely wrong and makes no sense. 

I feel a lot of pain and suffering could be avoided with this small lyric change. Most people know the lyric as "I miss" so the context of the song will not chnage any.
