Oasis
Stephen Stanley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mm, na-na-na-na
Mm-mm

I spend hours in my car
Wondering what Iβ€²m doing here
In this wasteland of my heart
Wishing home would reappear
And I'm holding on so far (holding on so far)
Hoping that my visionβ€²s clear (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Looking for that Northern star
If it's real then show me where
Lead me there

I need You now, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come find me out, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Shine a light in my dark places, I need You to be
My sweet oasis (my sweet oasis), my sweet oasis (hey)

Na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

Give me shelter, give me peace
Silence every single fear (na-na-na-na-na)
And I brought it here with me
But pain is not my souvenir
Oh, come near

I need You now, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come find me out, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Shine a light in my dark places, I need You to be
My sweet oasis (my sweet oasis), my sweet oasis (hey)

Na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

I know every corner of this desert
But You know it better, you know it better
I've let my emotions keep me drifting
Would You be my anchor? Would You be my anchor?

I need You now, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come find me out, oh-ooh-oh-oh
Shine a light in my dark places, I need You to be
My sweet oasis (my sweet oasis), my sweet oasis

Na, na-na-na-na-na (my sweet oasis)
Na-na-na-na-na (yeah)
Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na

Wonβ€²t You shine a light in my dark places? I need You to be
My sweet oasis (my sweet oasis), my sweet oasis

If you want to hear the gospel, press read more.....




























Jesus died for our sins, he suffered and did nothing wrong. A crown of thorns was dug into his skull, was whipped 39 times, then was forced to carry a giant wooden cross up a hill. Then finally, was crucified and suffered the full wrath if God, he rose once more three days later. Believe this, and you will inherit eternal life.
