Age of Reason - John Farnham

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

Do you hear the thunder Raging in the sky? Premonition of a shattered world that's gonna die In the age of reason How do we survive? The protocols of evil ravaging so many lives So many lives So many lives Mystifying silence Talking peace on Earth We should judge each other for ourselves not what we're worth Sustainable extinction A fractured human race A jaded revolution disappears without a trace Without a trace Without a trace Alright, yeah! Always felt that there'd be trouble Mass distraction hides the truth Prozac days and sleepless hours Seeds of change that don't bear fruit Oh yeah! These time are heavy and you're all alone The battle's over but the war goes on Politics, religion, love of money too It's what the world was built for but not for me and you Oh yeah!

Come on! The age of love. Yes, turn up that blaster, i wanna see you faster. Movin' to the bass that's gonna hit your face. Talking 'bout love and peace that? s what we need. Unity instead of fight. come on and reunite! Let it roll! Talking 'bout love and peace that's what we need. Unity instead of fight. come on and reunite! The age of love Come on! yeeeeah! The age of love! Rough and ready! Come on! Aaaaahh! The age of love! Thank you!

The touch of your hand Will let me know You take me in And let me go If not for love Why would we be? How is it done Two into one So easily? We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard We're lifted up by angels You understand Yet never say How every plan Would fade away If not for love Where would you be? Ashes to dust Water to rust Away from me We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets The angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Given wings to fly Leave the night behind us Trust the light to find us Even as we rise We're lifted up by angels Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Oh
