Legend: / = bar like (makes the length of 1 bar)

Intro: / A9 - D9 - / A9 - D9 E / (repeat)

A9                 D9
    Where are the dreams we once had?
A9               D9
    This is the time to bring them back.
F#m                 Bm
    What were the promises
F#m               Bm
    caught on the tips of our tongues?
A9 E         F#m      E
    Do we forget or forgive?
          A9             Bm  C#m
There's a whole other life
D9*                      D9  E
waiting to be lived when...
              F#m      E     Bm C#m
One day we're brave enough
                D       E      (intro)
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 (strait into chorus)

Chorus:
F#m                          Bm
One with the earth, with the sky
        Bm C#m  D     E  F#m
One with e-very-thing in life
                  Bm
I believe we'll survive
      Bm A  E
If we on-ly try...

Bridge:
                 D9
How long must we all wait to change
     D9/F#                          A   E    D9
This world bound in chains that we live in
                F#m      E
To know what it is to forgive,
    D
And be forgiven?

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
To talk with Conviction of the Heart

(repeat Chorus 3x)
