D5            G5                  D5
Where are the dreams that we once had
            G5                 B5
This is the time to bring them back
              E5
What were the promises
B5            E5                     E5    G5
Caught on the tips of our tongues?
A5     B5        A5       D5                 D5    G5                   G5  G5
Do we forget or forgive There's a whole other life waiting to be lived
         A5         E5    A5      E5 E5   G5          A5
When One day we're brave enough To talk with Conviction of the Heart.

(Repeat Twice See Chord Chart)
    D5          G5       G5    A5

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

D5            B5           G5                E5   A5        D5
One with the earth, with the sky, one with everything in life
     B5            G5       E5      A5 (open bar position)
I believe we'll survive If we only try
                 G5
How long must we all wait to change

     D5                          E5   A5
This world bound in chains that we live in
E5              G5
To know what it is to forgive,

          D5      G5  G5  G5
And be forgiven

(Verse)
It's been 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
But Do you care enough Where's your conviction of the Heart?

(Chorus)
One 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 we live? One child, one dream , only one life.
You've but one chance for one life. When will we live?
Only one earth, and only one sky, and 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.

from perfect.
