John Farnham Age of Reason Lyrics

From the day that we were born
We've been heading down a track
Sometimes it's made for good
Sometimes for bad
But if we look behind us
There's a wave coming down
Carrying us forward to a new age

What about the world around us?
How can we fail to see?
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason?

So why can't we be still
Why can't we love each other
Is kindness an ancient skill
Buried by our blindness
And if we look behind us
There's a wind blowing in
To create the age of reason

What about the world around us?
How can we fail to see?
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason?

If we consider carefully
The options put before us
So much wisdom
So much love
So much waiting for us
And if we look ahead
There's the sun and the seasons
Another day
Another age of reason

What about the world around us?
How can we fail to see?
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason?
What about the world around us?
How can we fail to see?
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason?
What about the world around us?
How can we fail to see?
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason?
