Leap Of Faith

Kenny Loggins Leap Of Faith Lyrics
1.Cody's Song

When you feel afraid,
When you lose your way, i'll find you,
Just try to smile, and dry your eyes,
I will bring back the moon into your skies.
And ever you will, remember darling, i'll be there to:

Say to you
I'll promise you
I'll promise to
Comfort you and say to you
Darling, i'll be there just for you.

There's so much to learn,
And when you want me
Then i'll show you,
And through the years,
You'll always be
The lullaby in the heart of the child in me.

Whenever you will, remember darling
I'll be there to

Say to you
I'll promise you
I'll promise to
Comfort you and say to you
Darling, i'll be there just for you.

Hold it, feel it,
Music is in your heart.
When you need it,
Just keep listening,
Let it sing, let it sing.

Though you've grown away
No matter how you'll change
I'll know you.
And when you tire of life alone,
There will always be one sure way back home

Just turn on the quiet,
And you close your eyes
And listen inside
(unconditional)
(unconditional)
(unconditional)

I'll be there to sing to you,
I promise you
I promise to
Comfort you
And sing to you.

And darling, i'll be there,
Anytime, and anywhere,
Cody i'll be there just for you.


2.Conviction Of The Heart

Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring the 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
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
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 wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
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?


3.If You Believe

Time, of rise and fly, over me, to the sea,
Love is a pride, wait for me, wait for me,

If you believe in me,
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of the seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Running in circles,
Desperate we hold to yours and mine,
Using my body,
Closing our hearts and eyes.

Oh no, open the door and let the wind blow,
Take my hand, together we stand in the eye of the hurricane.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of the seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Every nation, every woman, child and man
Comes on a moment, where they must take a stand,

Oh no, forget what you know, just let the wind blow,
Blown apart, you open your heart, and that's where anything can
be.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Out of control, out of my mind, at last,
Into my dreams, we sailed away.

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.

Oh sing it children
(if you believe in me)
Got to believe
(i will believe in what will be,)
Tell 'em what you want
(we want the world you've only dreamed of,)
World you've only dreamed of
(promise of our seasons,)
(give us the future please, )
(that's all we need of you.)

If you believe in me
I will believe in what will be,
We want the world you've only dreamed of,
Promise of our seasons,
Give us the future please,
That's all we need of you.


4.I Would Do Anything

Love, where are we going,
And when do we reach the promise on the horizon,

Out on the ocean, under a sunset,
I was invited to come out and play a while
With magic and move a mountain.

Has anyone ever captured the sun,
Is the eagle ever truly tame,
Given just a little time,
I know that you'll find a way.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from now on,
The trust in my heart,
The vision of you in my life

My love,
I will be faithful,
But how can i make a promise
To a place i've never been?

Something has taken me off,
And i don't know if i will survive.
I believe that everything
I'll ever need is here by the roadside.

How can you fly,
Keeping heaven in sight,
Blinded by the light of day?

Given just a little time,
I know that i'll find a way

I would do anything for you,
Listen with all of my spirit,
For ecstasy calling,
You know i believe,
Cause all i have seen,
From the mountain,
The view from the heart.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from here on,
The trust in my god,
The vision of you in my life

Freedom is mine,
One beat at a time,
Where are we going,
I just don't know yet,
How will we make it,
I just can't say,
All that i know is that we've finally sailed away.

Seems everyone's made a prison of love,
But if anybody can escape,
Given just a little time,
I know that we'll find a way.

I would do anything for you,
Listen with all of my spirit,
For ecstasy calling,
You know i believe,
Cause all i have seen,
From the mountain,
The view from the heart.

I would do anything for you,
Give up the world i've made me
And take you away,
I swear from here on,
The trust in my god,
The vision of you in my life

In my arms, i'll pray
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby
I am safe, i am loved, i am free, baby


5.Leap Of Faith

He opened the door and walked away,
Sometimes a selfless step is all it takes,
From the mountain, he can watch it all burn,
Welcome friend, to the point of no return

Once in a life, you can find a time to see,
And you get to turn it down, turn around, temporary sanity
And then the mountain disappears without a trace,
All it took, was a sudden leap of faith

(homeward, let your spirit rise, )
Darling, i'm waiting for you
(homeward, one step at a time)
(homeward, watch it like a child)
When will i reach the ocean
(i'm filled with mixed emotion)
(i'll wait for you)
(i'll wait for you)
I'm waiting for you baby
(i'll wait for you)
(i'll wait for you)

How and why?
And the bough broke back to sea(?)
He was overcome, by how it happened all so easily,
And as he stood there, with the moonlight on his face,
He was stunned by a sudden leap of faith.

Darling, i'm waiting for you
(homeward, one step at a time)
(homeward, watch it like a child)
When will i reach the ocean,
Moving in slow motion now
(you know it's the truth)
(you've done all a man can do)

{long instrumental, scat break}

Homeward, let your spirit rise,
Homeward, one step at a time,
Homeward, watch it like a child,

Homeward, let your spirit rise,
Homeward, one step at a time,
Homeward, watch it like a child,
Homeward
(fade)


6.My Father's House

In my voice, in my smile,
In the eyes of my eldest child,
You appear every year in my life.

In a dream, i have now,
Standing still in my father's house,
And i try another time to walk away.

I learned that music and laughter,
From the child that you hid in your eyes,
And it's his song that i sing,
Now who will sing for me?

All my life, no voice inside,
Has whispered, 'set me free',
All this time, has it been, you or me.

I wait for someone to save me,
Just like you did all your life,
And will i find my home,
But i alone, like you.


7.Now Or Never

I took, one look, in your eyes tonight,
And i saw, it all there in a different light,
Just when i thought i was out of the rain,
Suddenly i'm in a hurricane,
And all around me voices in the wind.

Say again, what i know i know,
It's time, it's time, to learn about letting go,
Why does it feel like i just exist,
Stuck out here on the precipice?

They say the future's out of our hands,
So why is it making demands?

If i have to make up my mind,
Maybe now is the time to decide.
Every minute makes it harder on me,
Why must it be now or never?

I knew a man, i held his hand,
When i was just a child,
He showed me his dreams
I watched him let 'em die

If i could stand again by his side,
I'd tell him that love is why we're alive,
That's what i tell the world i believe,
So why can't i listen to me?

If i have to make up my mind,
Maybe now is the time to decide.
Every minute makes it harder on me,
Why must it be now or never?

Welcome to sunrise in paradise,
The light of the dawn, is burning my eyes,
And that's just where i want it to be.

If i have to make up my mind,
Maybe now is the time to decide.
Every minute makes it harder on me,
Why must it be now or never?

If i finally get to make up my mind,
Girl then now is the time to decide.
Somebody tell me why i do this to me,
Why must it be now or never?


8.Sweet Reunion

In the moment i first saw you,
I could swear that we had met,
The look in your eye,
Was so familiar,
Where and when, i forget.

Whispered your name in introduction,
Darling, my heart filled the room,
And i knew it was you, come back in my life.

So we meet again, my long lost friend
Once again, we get to start anew,
And it feels like a thousand years,
I've been loving you.

Girl have you been waiting here, for someone near,
Searchin' the world for a friend,
Come on in, i've been expecting you
Sweet reunion, welcome home again.

How many lifetimes have i loved you,
How many times have you loved me,
The sound of your voice is in my memory,
Like the wind, on the sea.

The glow of your heart has been my lighthouse,
I've followed it in from distant shores,
Now i won't be afraid to love anymore.

So we meet again, my long lost friend
Once again, we get to start anew,
And it feels like a thousand years,
I've been loving you.

Girl have you been waiting here, for someone near,
Searchin' the world for a friend,
Come on in, i've been expecting you
Sweet reunion, welcome home again.

Whatever happens, nothing's ever going to be the same,
Now you'll find me here at last,
Your love's released me from the past,
My heart and soul have always remembered your name.

Girl have you been waiting here, for someone near,
Searchin' the world for a friend,
Come on in, i've been expecting you
Sweet reunion, welcome home again.

I've always been loving you

Girl have you been waiting here, for someone near,
Searchin' the world for a friend,
Come on in, i've been expecting you
Sweet reunion, welcome home again.


9.The Real Thing

Amanda, i know what you're thinking,
You and i have much to say,
And you've been making me crazy,
Trying to understand
But it's impossible at your age.

I know i said i'll always try,
But you're going to bed alone again tonight,
And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
You can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

You're so afraid your life is over,
And nothing i can say can change your mind.
How can anybody be so selfish,
And treat you all so cruel,
The woman screamed at me and cried.
I'll always hold you in my soul,
And i'm never going to leave you all alone
But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.

Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,
Not everybody's sailing out to sea,
And is there someone there for me?
I'm ready to believe.

I did it for you, and the boys,
Because love should teach you joy,
And not the imitation,
That your momma and daddy tried to show you.
I did it for you, and for me,
And because i still believe,
There's only one thing,
That you can never give up,
Never compromise on,
And that's the real thing you need in love.


10.Too Early For The Sun

I have never known a love like this,
Before in my life,
Tears can turn into bliss,
With only a kiss, only a kiss.

And i have never held a girl,
Like you so close in my arms,
You appeared in my world,
And offered me hope for one more time.

I've never been so afraid,
That love is just a dream,
Darling i'll awake and you'll be gone,
Never believe that i'll love somebody,
I'll love somebody, someone like you,
I'll love somebody, i could love somebody.

You're too early for the sun,
Too early for the moon,
Too early for the rain,
Coming down on me,
You make me feel so close to home,
So far away, like nowhere else i've never been.

You're too early for the stars,
Too early for the wind,
Too early for my heart,
To open up again,

But when i see you i just laugh,
And i believe, i'm right where i'm supposed to be.

I have never known a life like this,
Except in my dreams,
One kiss and i was renewed,
Now i'm alive, i have survived.

I have never loved a girl,
Like you, except in my dreams,
All my songs are for you,
I finally see my dreams come true.

I've never been so afraid,
That love is just a dream,
Darling i'll awake and you'll be gone,
Never believe that i'll love somebody,
I'll love somebody, someone like you,
I'll love somebody, i could love somebody.

You're too early for the sun,
Too early for the moon,
Too early for the rain,
Coming down on you,
You make me feel so close to home,
So far away, like nowhere else i've never been.

You're just too early for the stars,
Too early for the wind,
Too early for my heart,
To open up again.

But when i see you i just laugh,
And i believe, i'm right where i'm supposed to be.

Ooh, darling, welcome to the wind,
As we sail our ship of dreams into uncharted waters,
Forget about the stars, and love will lead you higher,
So girl, let's ride the wind.

Surrender to the sun,
Surrender to the moon,
Surrender to the rain,
Surrender to the stars,
Surrender to your heart,
Surrender to the wind.
Take a chance,
Open up, let me love again.

Surrender to the sun,
Surrender to the moon,
Surrender to the rain,
Surrender to the stars,
Surrender to your fears,
Surrender to your tears,
Take a chance,
Open up, let me love again.


11.Will Of The Wind

The voices in the wind,
Will take you home again,
The journey home has just begun by friend,

The magic in your eyes,
Was more than i surmised,
And i surrender time and time again,

To the will of the wind
The will of the wind, child
The wind in the wind chimes,
Takes you home again.

The will of the wind
The will of the wind, child
The wind in the wind chimes,
Takes you home again.

The will of the wind
