From the day that we were born Weve been heading down a track Sometimes its made for good, sometimes for bad But if we look behind us, theres a wave coming down Carrying us forward, to a new age [Chorus] What about the world around us How can we fail to see And now that our fathers have gone And weve been left to carry on What about the age of reason So why cant we be still Why cant we love each other Is kindness and age and skill, buried by our blindness And if we look behind us, theres a wind blowing in To create the age of reason [Chorus] What about the world around us What about the world, what about the age How can we fail to see What about the world And now that our fathers have gone And weve been left to carry on What about the age of reason If we consider carefully, the options put upon us So much wisdom so much love So much waiting for us And if we look ahead, theres the sun and the seasons Another day, another age of reason [Chorus] What about the world around us What about the world, what about the age How can we fail to see What about the world And now that our fathers have gone And weve been left to carry on What about the age of reason What about the world around us What about the world, what about the age How can we fail to see And now that our fathers have gone And weve been left to carry on What about the age of reason
