[00:05.90]There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
[00:10.80]Swaying me in both directions.
[00:14.36]
[00:15.92]One is the right one, the other for fools
[00:20.97]How do I make my selection?
[00:26.09]The city lies silent in the warm morning light
[00:29.90]
[00:30.83]The sand is as golden as saffron.
[00:35.83]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[00:40.75]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
[00:46.75]
[00:51.07]Someone is drowning down there in the flood
[00:55.06]
[00:56.06]But this river will dry by tomorrow.
[00:58.80]
[01:00.74]Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood
[01:05.04]
[01:05.79]Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
[01:09.79]
[01:11.03]The end of the journey must soon be in sight
[01:15.23]
[01:16.10]Birth is the start of the swansong.
[01:19.24]
[01:20.93]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[01:24.87]
[01:26.01]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
[01:31.88]
[01:36.49]No one is given the map to their dreams
[01:40.43]
[01:41.17]All we can do is to trace it.
[01:44.42]
[01:46.35]See where we go to
[01:48.66]Know where weve been
[01:50.47]
[01:51.35]Build up the courage to face it
[01:54.86]
[01:56.06]While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
[02:00.25]
[02:01.20]Roaming the land of the ancients.
[02:04.57]
[02:06.07]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[02:11.06]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
[02:17.55]
[02:18.55]While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
[02:22.55]
[02:23.73]Searching for trees in the forest.
[02:26.98]
[02:28.49]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[02:32.75]
[02:33.68]God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried.
[02:41.61]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
[02:46.91]
[02:48.85]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
[02:54.65]
[02:56.27]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
[03:01.89]
[03:03.76]God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride.
