Someone is drowning down there in the flood,
But this river will dry by tomorrow.
Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood?
Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
The end of the journey must soon be in sight.
Birth is the start of the swan-song.
        (O- asis   of       Love...)

God bless the poor ones who want some, but are denied.


No-one is given the map to their dreams:
All we can do is to trace it.
See where we go to, know where we've been,
Build up the courage to face it.
While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light,
Ruining the land of the Ancients.
OASIS OF LOVE, sweet water of life:
God bless the poor ones whose patience never dies.
While we stumble in the blindness where once there was sight,
Searching for trees in the forest, (Oasis of  Love...)
O- asis of Love, sweet water of life:
God bless the poor ones who have none, though they have tried.
GOD BLESS the poor ones who want some, but are denied.
GOD BLESS the poor ones whose patience never dies.
