[Verse]
[G]There you may stand in your [D]splendour and jewels
[C]Swaying me in both di[G]rections
One is the right one, the [D]other for fools
[C]How do I make my se[G]lection?
[Verse]

The [C]sand is as golden as [G]saffron
Oasis of love, sweet [D]water of life
[C]God bless the poor ones who [G]have none, [D]though they have [G]tried[G/F#][Em][D]
[Verse]
[G]Someone is drowning down [D]there in the flood
But this [C]river will dry by to[G]morrow

[C]Bringer of joy or of [G]sorrow?
[Verse]
The end of the journey must [D]soon be in sight

See where we go to, [D]know where we've been
[C]Build up the courage to [G]face it
[Verse]
While we fumble in the darkness, where [D]once there was light

Oasis of love, sweet [D]water of life
[C]God bless the poor ones whose [G]patience[D] never [G]died
[Verse]
While we stumble in blindness, where [D]once there was sight
[C]Searching for trees in the [G]forest
