The Alan Parsons Project - Ammonia Avenue lyrics
[The Alan Parsons Project - 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 stranger's eyes
And who are we to criticize or
Scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we
Shall find Ammonia Avenue
If 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 know
And word by word they handed down
The light that shines today
And those who came at first to scoff
Remained behind to pray
Yes those who came at first to scoff
Remained behind to pray
When 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 vain
And who are we to justify the
Right in all we do?
Until we seek until we find Ammonia Avenue
Through 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
We stand in the darkness?
Watching the sun arise
Is there no sign of life as
We gaze at the waters?
Into the stranger's eyes
And who are we to criticize or
Scorn the things that they do?
For we shall seek and we
Shall find Ammonia Avenue
If 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 know
And word by word they handed down
The light that shines today
And those who came at first to scoff
Remained behind to pray
Yes those who came at first to scoff
Remained behind to pray
When 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 vain
And who are we to justify the
Right in all we do?
Until we seek until we find Ammonia Avenue
Through 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
