Intro

       

Verse 1

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   

Chorus

And who are we to criticize,
Or scorn the things that they do?   
For we shall seek and we shall find
Ammonia Avenue

Verse 2

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   

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

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   

Chorus

And who are we to justify,
The right in all we do?   
Until we seek, until we find
Ammonia Avenue

Bridge

Through all the doubt,
Somehow they knew

Chorus

And stone by stone, they built it high
Until the sun broke through   
A ray of hope. A shining light
Ammonia Avenue
