Age Of Reason

Chris thompson, and andy qunta

It's the way it is - the way things are
The reason we can't do any more
It's such a shame - such a fact
Wake up now 'cause everything gone crazy
In the end there'll be nothing at all
And it breaks my heart

Don't tell me it can't be done
When there's plenty for everyone
We've every reason to put it right
What is this
What is this world doing

Well i can't sleep - but i can dream
It's the cover of new time magazine
It's a new idea - it's a whole new thing
A while new world we're living in
We're using love as a weapon of war
We're gonna fight it out

Todd hunter, and johanna pigott

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

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

Dave stewart, olle ormo, and brian harrison

From the darkness of the ocean
There's a wind that comes your way
When a hurricane is blowing
And there's nothing you can say
The world may turn against you
But life will take its course
Like the storm that pours upon you
And hides none of its force
I wanna hear your name

But you can get no answers
And you feel no pain
And the strangest felling
It's coming around again
Blowing in like thunder
And it's coming low
You gotta keep your head down
And take it blow by blow

There's an image in the distance
In the rain that hides the sea
And you strain your eyes to see it
Yet it's coming through to me
It's a face that's fair with beauty
And a heart that's full of praise
But it's fading as the dawn breaks
Now it's vanished in the haze
I wanna hear your name

Steven hague, and mark nueller

When you look at me who do you see
Do opposites distract you
When we choose up sides when the roads divide
Is it me you'll keep coming back to
You place a cautious bet a little late night roulette
It makes your heart beat faster
But when the hour comes - will you run
Or decide that it's worth chasing after

You don't have to - unless you want to
You don't need to - unless you need to
Some do some do some do some don't

When you start alone and end up alone
But between it's hours to play with
Is it black or white - we're talkin' gray tonight
Do you find the one you'll stay with

You try to release it but i'm not sure that
There's any reason to - just let your heart decide

On your way back home will you walk alone
Have you locked up the door behind you
Or take me in and all that i am
I'm here if you should decide to

Brent thomas, and jon stevens

Counting down the days not far away
Take the journey down the side of yesterday
I'll listen to the wind
I'll listen to the wind
And if there's takes i'll learn
I'll listen to the wind

Baby did you ever learn
Oh listen to me won't you now and don't you hide
I said baby if i let you know
Oh it was never said that you'd stay on my mind
You'd stay on my mind

When you're hiding all these is inside
Don't feel uneasy no don't you hide
Nothing ever is the same
Nothing ever is the same
Even though i have come away from you
Oh baby nothing ever seems the same

Baby did you ever learn
Oh this is just a story for the years to say
I said baby and if you ever want
Oh let's just steal the moment
Oh let's just steal the moment 'fore we have to die
Before before we have to die
