That One Promised Oasis

That One Promised Oasis 

           

You remember that time 

You were in an oasis as a child

So you drag everyone with you

To see if it could be found.

The journey is quite costly 

But it's a sacrifice you're willing to make,

The survivors will understand

When they see that oasis so great.

                  

You think you finally reached it 

And enjoy that water so tired 

But it sticks to your hand

And tastes so much like iron.

Now you can't even be sure

If it was a dream or a memory,

When for those who are left 

It was only a nightmare to see.
