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
