[00:05.80]There you may stand in your splendour and jewels
[00:10.98]Swaying me in both directions.
[00:14.16]
[00:16.09]One is the right one, the other for fools
[00:20.28]
[00:21.16]How do I make my selection?
[00:23.91]
[00:26.08]The city lies silent in the warm morning light
[00:30.14]
[00:31.14]The sand is as golden as saffron.
[00:34.19]
[00:35.94]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[00:40.18]
[00:41.31]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
[00:48.29]
[00:51.42]Someone is drowning down there in the flood
[00:55.23]
[00:56.28]But this river will dry by tomorrow.
[00:59.85]
[01:00.90]Is it ocean or stream, this love in my blood
[01:05.33]
[01:06.33]Bringer of joy or of sorrow?
[01:09.33]
[01:11.21]The end of the journey must soon be in sight
[01:16.82]Birth is the start of the swansong.
[01:20.44]
[01:21.11]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[01:25.31]
[01:26.36]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
[01:32.35]
[01:36.65]No one is given the map to their dreams
[01:40.65]
[01:41.64]All we can do is to trace it.
[01:45.08]
[01:46.46]See where we go to
[01:48.33]
[01:49.39]Know where weve been
[01:50.94]
[01:51.64]Build up the courage to face it
[01:54.94]
[01:56.25]While we fumble in the darkness where once there was light
[02:00.24]
[02:01.68]Roaming the land of the ancients.
[02:04.81]
[02:06.43]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[02:10.85]
[02:11.61]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
[02:17.65]
[02:18.77]While we stumble in blindness where once there was sight
[02:22.89]
[02:24.02]Searching for trees in the forest.
[02:27.26]
[02:28.01]Oasis of love, sweet water of life
[02:33.13]
[02:34.07]God bless the poor ones, so helpless they have cried.
[02:40.87]
[02:41.61]God bless the poor ones who have none though they have tried.
[02:47.04]
[02:48.98]God bless the poor ones who want some but are denied.
[02:55.03]
[02:56.47]God bless the poor ones whose patience never died.
[03:02.33]
[03:02.90]God bless the poor ones on that one way donkey ride.
