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 ought to be
Oh, everyone believes
And they’re not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
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
[2x]
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 you can remember
Who ever surrendered
With their life on the line?)
[2x]
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
