Conviction of the Heart
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
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 had 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 await to change
The world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And be forgiven?

Too many years I've taken 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?



For the First Time
Are those your eyes, is that your smile?
I've been looking at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holding mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind.

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...

Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...

Such a long time ago
I had given up on finding this emotion...
Ever again
But you live with me now
Yes I've found you some how
And I've never been so sure

And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seeing who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're looking back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...
