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 lead 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 

is there anyone you 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 a folded flag inside his mother's hand? 
belief can, belief can
