Kenny Loggins
Conviction of the Heart
[Intro]
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 life
Fooling myself, believing we're right when
I've never given love
With any conviction of the heart
[Chorus 1]
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe we'll survive if we only try
[Bridge]
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?
[Verse 3]
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 you're aware
Believe, and you care
But do you care enough?
Where's your conviction of the heart?
[Chorus 2]
One with the Earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start
With conviction of the heart
With the Earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start
With conviction of the heart
[Chorus 3]
One Earth, one sky, only one world
Only one chance for one life
When will we live?
(With conviction of the heart)
One child, one dream, and only one life
Give her one chance for one life
When will we live?
[Outro]
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
