John Mayer-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
and 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

what puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
belief can, belief can
what puts a folded flag inside his mother's hand?
belief can, belief can
