"Oasis"

By: Al Jarreau and Ricky Peterson

Don’t talk about religion.
Someone says I [bad word] 
Quicksilver wing [bad word] time.
They’ll put your keys and letters, in a capsule underground.
Your diaries and rosaries to find.

 [bad word] 
Tell me, can you see it?
Would (won't) [bad word] Johnny [bad word] 
Tell them it’s easy (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.

Don’t talk about the weather.
Why the salmon [bad word] 
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.

 [bad word] X 2

Bright white oasis in the sun
In the sun…
