Convictions

Convictions

Song Lyrics

Maybe our convictions are convictions after all,
They lock us in a prison in our minds. 
They keep us from living in this moment. 
We’re out of synchronicity---out of present time.

Convicted by convictions, we are prisoners, prisoners. 
Living in the past we will never be free 
Until we breakout, until we break out, 
Open up and live our lives today.

I'm not looking for a pot of gold 
At the end of some long road. 
Treasures wait around each bend, we can uncover them.
There is no end to the wealth to be discovered 
When we break out, break out of our delusions,
Break out, break out of all our past conclusions. 
Then we can be free, yes we can be free to live today, today 
Let’s live for today.

Maybe our convictions are convictions after all.
They lock us in a prison in our minds.
Each of us are wardens and we hold the key.
There is no one else who can set the prisoner free.

So if we breakout, if we’re willing to breakout
Of past conclusions, our delusions,
Then we can be free
Free to live today
Free to find a better way
No time to waste on blame.
It’s time to break out.
We’ve got to break out.
