Avalanche

Wanted an invitation from a window or a woman's laugh
Just a little something everybody else seemed to have
The cushion of love to help me take the strain
I hope it rains the day I die, it's hard to explain

I was told the streets were paved with gold
I've been bought and sold on a millonaire's plans
I don't know how long, I can just keep rollin' on
Lookin' for a miracle, waiting for a last change

I'm praying for an
Avalanche
I'm praying for an
Avalanche

Some people just ignore what they don't understand
And then go looking for Jesus,
With their check books in their hands
When we have a reason, we don't need an axe to grind

I don't have the cash
I don't have the time
I pray fate will be kind

I was told the streets were paved with gold
Bought and sold on a millonaire's plans
I don't know how long, I can just keep rollin' on
Lookin' for a miracle, waiting for a last change

I'm praying for an
Avalanche
I'm praying for an
Avalanche

Lord,
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born in the avalanche

(Here I am)

Whoever it was sang, "The best things in life are free"
Lay on a waterbed in the lap of luxury
I've got a penny in the future and a million in the past
I'm not quite sure what I'm lookin' for, but I better find it fast

I was told the streets were paved with gold
I've been bought and sold on a millonaire's plans
I don't know how long, I can just keep rollin' on
Lookin' for a miracle, waiting for a last change

I'm praying for an avalanche
Avalanche,
Avalanche
I'm prayin' for a (avalanche) avalanche

Uhh uh, in the eye of the strom, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the avalanche

In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the avalanche

In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the eye of the storm, hope is born
In the avalanche

Honey, here I am
Here I am
Honey, here I am...
