Conviction Of The Heart (Album Version)

conviction of the heart - kenny loggins
where are the dreams that we once had
this is the time to bring them back
what were the promises caught on the tips of our tongues
do we forget or forgive
there's a whole other life waiting to be lived when
one day we're brave enough to talk with conviction of the heart
and down your streets i've walked alone
as if my feet were not my own
such is the path i chose
doors i have opened and closed
i'm tired of living this lie
fooling myself, believing we're right when
i've never given love with any conviction of the heart
one with the earth, with the sky
one with everything in life
i believe we'll survive if we only try
how long must we all wait to change
this world bound in chains that we live in
to know what it is to forgive and be forgiven
too many years of taking now
isn't it time to stop somehow
air that's too angry to breathe
water our children can't drink
you've heard it hundreds of times
you say your aware, believe and you care
do you care enough
where's your conviction of the heart
one with the earth, with the sky
one with everything in life
i believe it will start with conviction of the heart
with earth, with the sky
one with everything in life
i believe it will start with conviction of the heart
one earth, one sky
only one world
only one chance for one life
when will we live
one child, one dream, only one life
you've but one chance for one life
when will we live
only one earth
only one sky
only one world
we've only got one chance to live in one life
i believe
it's only gonna start when we begin with some conviction of the heart
