Avenue of Hope

Along the avenue of hope

The footsteps falter, the fingers grope

And the days stretch out beneath the sun

No one's born, no one dies

No one loves, so no one cries

And we wait to see just what we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride

Don't let the earth in me subside

Let me see just who I will become

You're like the clouds in my home town

You just grow fat and hang around

And your days stretch out beneath the sun

No one's born, no one dies

No one loves, so no one cries

And we wait to see just what we will become

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring

Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing

Let me see just who I will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me hide

Don't let someone else decide

Just who or what I will become

Don't make them borrow, don't make them bring

Don't let them wallow, don't let them sing

Let them stretch out beneath the sun
