Loggins and Messina - Conviction of the Heart Lyrics

One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life

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 live
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 life
Fooling myself, believing we're right
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 you're aware, believe and you care
But 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 the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe it will start with conviction of the heart

One earth, one sky, and only one world
Only one chance for one life
When will we live with conviction of the heart?

One [Incomprehensible]
You've only one life
You've got one chance in one life
When will we live

Only one, only one sky
In only one world
We've only got one chance to live in this one life
Yeah I believe it will only start with conviction of the heart
