Ammonia Avenue Lyrics

Is there no sign of light as we stand in the darkness
Watching the sun arise?
Is there no sign of life as we gaze at the waters
Into the strangers eyes?And who are we to criticize or scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we shall find Ammonia AvenueIf we call for the proof and we question the answers
Only the doubt will grow
Are we blind to the truth or a sign to believe in?
Only the wise will knowAnd word by word they handed down the light that shines today
And those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to pray
And those who came at first to scoff, remained behind to prayWhen you can't hear the rhyme and you can't see the reason
Why should the hope remain?
For a man will be tired and his soul will grow weary
Living his life in vainAnd who are we to justify the right in all we do?
Until we seek, until we find Ammonia AvenueThrough all the doubt somehow they knew
And stone by stone they built it high
Until the sun broke through
A ray of hope, a shining light Ammonia Avenue
