Conviction of the Heart
Kenny Loggins
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 so tired of living this life, 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 I believe we'll survive If we only try How long must we wait to change This world bound in chains that we live in To know what it is to forgive, And to be forgiven? It's been too many years of talking 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 you're aware, believe and you care, but Do you care enough To talk with conviction of the heart?
