Reasons - John Farnham

Some people are dreamers, they live for the future

As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it

Would work out — somehow

Others get caught in, yesterday’s papers

Too busy reading, to get on with living

But I — live for now

Sometimes it’s easy to make up excuses

On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons

But where are they now?

Like I’m way too busy, I can’t be involved now

And then there’s the standby about understanding

But they’re — wrong somehow

I’ll climb more than a mountain

Swim more than an ocean

Build up an island

Live for a lifetime

Just give me a reason and I’ll come running

When I have reasons, I know the way

I’m pointing my feet in the right direction

Give me a reason

Some people are dreamers, they live for the future

As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it

Would work out — somehow
