Oasis (Album Version) - Al Jarreau
Written by：Al Jarreau/Paul Peterson/Ricky Peterson
Don't talk about religion
Someone says I gotta run
Quicksilver wing express compresses time
They'll put your keys and letters in a capsule underground
Your diaries and rosaries to find
Tell me can you see it
Would won't you run johnny run
Tell them it's easy
When your heart is light and young
Stepchild to lead us
The procession's begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun
Don't talk about the weather
Why the salmon didn't run
We'll watch the children play through filtered light
The emerald green sequoias just a statue made of bronze
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by
Tell me can you see it
Would won't you run johnny run
Tell them you'll see it
When your heart is light and young
Stepchild to lead us
The procession's begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun
Tell me can you see it
Would won't you run johnny run
And tell them it's easy
When your heart is light and young
Stepchild to lead us
The procession's begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun
Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sun
