Conviction of the Heart (Live) - 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 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 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 Only one world Only one chance For one life When will 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 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

When the music fades And all is stripped away And I simply come Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless Your heart I'll bring You more than a song For a song in itself Is not what You have required You search much deeper within Through the way things appear You're looking into my heart I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it When it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus King of endless worth No one could express How much You deserve Though I'm weak and poor All I have is Yours Every single breath I'll bring You more than a song For a song in itself Is not what You have required You search much deeper within Through the way things appear You're looking into my heart I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it And it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it And it's all about You It's all about You, Jesus

Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong wait and see Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish would be heard And answered when wished on the morning star? Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing? And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Are these the sweet sounds that call the young sailors? I think they're one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers and me

Listen to the people crying Hoping for the day they'll be free I don't have to tell you we're (they're) dieing Just wake up, take a look, what do You see? I see young men my own age in coffins And mothers in tears for their sons* And sweethearts and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war Thousands and thousands Shall gather together To seek and find the Way we all need And the son will bring (backhanded glory) us together Hallelujah And rid ourselves of the pain we all see We see young men our own age in coffins And Mothers in tears for their sons And Sweetheart's and wives Alone with their memories And golden ribbon's those fortunes of war What does it to avail a man To gain fortune And lose his soul?

I was sitting at a table on an open bay Waiting for drink of rum When I asked my waiter for the time of day She said, "Look out there's a centipede coming your way" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I was lying by the water in the morning sun Shaded by a coconut tree When I turned around it was all I could see There was great big centipede staring at me In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet I had only just a second to decide what to do While looking at his poisonous fangs When I said I thought it was a beautiful day He said, "Wow Mr. Hall, I think you're pushing my leg" In Lahaina, the sugarcane grow In Lahaina, the living is slow In Lahaina, the mangoes are sweet But the centipede he crawls all over your feet

Love is real Real is love Love is feeling Feeling loved Love is wanting To be loved Love is touch Touch is love Love is reaching Reaching out Love is asking To be loved Love is you You and me Love is knowing You can be Oh Love is free Free is love All this living Living, living, love Love is needing To be loved Love is you You and me Love is wanting To be free Love is knowing We will be
