Dark Avenue

I.
I look upon the shadowed streets of Avenue
To happy memories and laughter I say, adieu
Beneath the golden light of the street lamps I stand
For I mourn that people are now leaving this land

II.
OH! How this place will be lonely, I say
Without the merriment and songs, it's not the same
Listening to my monologue I must be so cliche
But what can I do for this is how I feel, am I to blame?

III.
The ground beneath my feet tremble and shake
So are the people's spirit as they sprint to flee
But I wore a smile to my face and shouted in glee
Do you not hear that? It is God saying, awake! Awake!

IV.
I praise God for the people once again call His name
It is now time for His glory to proclaim!
I praise God for He shook me from my sleep
For in the ages past, I fell into darkness too deep

V.
But now, I am renewed with great strength
For His love has enraptured my heart
I am willing to go to many great lengths
If it means pleasing Him, as I did my part

VI.
To my Lord, I cannot wait to meet You at last
And come in glory with the loud trumpet blast
I will be there to see You part the clouds of the sky
And finally wipe these tears of mine dry
