Where are the dreams that we once had? This is the time to bring them back.
Khashka's most recent post reminded me of one of my favorite songs. Enjoy!

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 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
Im tired of living this life,
Fooling myself, believing were 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 well survive
If we only try...
How long must we wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And be forgiven?
Its 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?

2. Say it isn't so, lost!! Maybe your old dreams are gone because they weren't right for you
Maybe it's time to come up with some new ones. As Thoreau once said "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."

4. True love. Real love.
Passionate, intense, immense, everlasting love.

That's been my dream all my life - but the two times I found it, it was taken away from me by outside forces.

Maybe that's why it's always going to be just a dream for me - because from what I can see, everytime I think my dream will become a reality, it's snatched away from me. And I don't think my heart can handle another loss.

5. I had a dream last night.
I Had A Dream
John Sebastian

I had a dream last night
What a lovely dream it was
I dreamed we all were alright
Happy in a land of Oz

Why did everybody laugh
when I told them my dream
I guess they all were so far
from that kind of scene
Feeling mean

I heard a song last night
What a lovely song it was
I thought I´d hum it all night
Unforgettable because

All of the players were playing together
And all of the heavies were light as a feather
All I remember is a feeling tomorrow
And as I recall the rest will just follow

I had a dream last night
What a lovely dream it was
I dreamed we all were alright
Happy in a land of Oz
Happy in a land of Oz...

6. I had too much to dream last night --

Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone



Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream
