Ammonia Avenue

Ammonia Avenue - The Alan Parsons Project

Written by：Alan Parson

Is there no sign of light

As we stand in the darkness

Watching the sunrise

Is there no sign of life

As we gaze at the waters

Into the strangers eyes

And who are we

To criticize

Or scorn things that they do

For we shall seek and we shall find

Ammonia avenue

If we call for the proof and we questions 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
