John Farnham - Age Of Reason Lyrics

Artist: John Farnham

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Hunter Todd, Pigott Johanna Paton

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?

(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?

    Sounds to me as if it's about turning your back on Christianity
    (the track we've been heading down)
    as written from an atheist point of view.
