Belief

is there anyone who ever remembers

changing their mind from the paint on a sign

is there anyone who really recalls

ever breaking rank at all

for something someone yelled real loud one time

oh everyone believes

in how they think it oughta be

oh everyone believes

and they're not going easily

belief is a beautiful armor

but makes for the heaviest sword

like punching underwater

you never can hit who you're trying for

some need the exhibition

some have to know they tried

it's the chemical weapon

for the war that's raging on inside

oh everyone believes

from emptiness to everything

oh everyone believes

and no one's going quietly

we're never gonna win the world

we're never gonna stop the war

we're never gonna beat this

if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world

we're never gonna stop the war

we're never gonna beat this

if belief is what we're fighting for

is there anyone who can remember

ever surrender with their life on the line

we're never gonna win the world

we're never gonna stop the war

we're never gonna beat this

if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world

we're never gonna stop the war

we're never gonna beat this

if belief is what we're fighting for

what puts a hundred thousand children in the sand

belief can belief can

what puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand

belief can belief can
