Al Jarreau - Oasis

Donââ?¬â?¢t talk about religion.
Someone says I gotta run.
Quicksilver wing express, compresses time.
Theyââ?¬â?¢ll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.

CHORUS:
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) you run Johnny, run.
Tell them itââ?¬â?¢s easy (youââ?¬â?¢ll see it),
When your heart is light and young.
Stepchild to lead us,
The processionââ?¬â?¢s begun toward that bright white oasis in the sun.

Donââ?¬â?¢t talk about the weather.
Why the salmon didnââ?¬â?¢t run.
Weââ?¬â?¢ll watch the children play, through filtered light.
The emerald green sequoias, just a statue made of bronze.
Like tapestries of dynasties gone by.

CHORUS X 2

Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sunââ?¬¦
