Ammonia Avenue Lyrics - Ammonia Avenue (bonus Track Version) - The Alan Parsons Project

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 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 

And 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
