| | Belief Lyrics Artist(Band):John Mayer
Is there anyone who Ever remembers changing there 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 Everyone believes In how they think it ought to be 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 Everyone believes From emptiness to everything Everyone believes And no ones 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 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 If you find some error in Belief Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Belief Why does this matter? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/28/09 Shouldn't all that matter is that he's an amazing artist and he puts his heart and soul into his songs? Yeah, so why debate and get all salty about something so small? Grow up a little. We all have opinions and once you start criticising others about their BELIEFS, then you're pretty pathetic. Meaning of Belief | Reviewer: Jon Vaughn | 10/10/09 My understanding of what John Mayer has written and spoken is that of my own, but what is more important is what it means to Him. If it is of Him, it is good. When I listen to it, it sounds like a song of Him and the battle within yourself of wanting to believe, but you do not believe. To me, the song is of Him, which again, to me, makes it a good song to sing. To you, I do not know what it means until expose the true condition of your heart. God Bless All Of You. Are you kidding? | Reviewer: Mo | 9/13/09 are you people kidding? its not about debate. its about war, politics and the messed up society that we live in. No change has come about because we have not let it. religion is tearing us apart. and not even just religion but all other beliefs. mankind cannot stand together and unite as one without fighting or killing millions of innocent people to prove a point. "No man is a dead man" -Anonymous shut up alec | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/24/09 listen. the song is about the crisis belief can cause. think, you want to watch an action movie, but your sister wants a chick flick, in comes an argument about which genre is better than the other and how stupid you are to believe otherwise. same principle except this isn't a family spat, this is war. people dying, poverty, displacement, you name it. Belief by John Mayer | Reviewer: Mike | 6/4/09 To me it's saying belief is what makes a person do what they do - regardless if we believe if it's right or wrong. It will make a nation go to war to defend their beliefs and a country to start a war because of it's beliefs. Everyone believes one thing or another - it will never change and war will continue - because of belief. WTF folks | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/20/09 I rarely read comments posted on the web because they're so pointlessly stupid, but when have a few down seconds to peruse they definitely provide entertainment. Thanks for giving me a chuckle all! I'd also like to thank the web for providing a place where pointless debate can run amok. Feel free to point out my flaws -- I'll never read your comments anyway and maybe they'll provide someone else a giggle. comments | Reviewer: Florida_S | 4/14/09 - It is possible for artists to have interesting insights about society since they are somewhat removed from it. (Not that they always do...) - The 'hundred thousand children in the sand' also could be referring to Darfur, as well as the young soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it doesn't seem that the song is focused on any single particular conflict. "We're never going to beat this" seems to generally refer to the 'global war on terror' and the West vs. radical Islamist conflicts. - Generally the first verses remind me of debating with a fundamentalist or creationist -- "like punching underwater." It's nearly impossible to reconcile some points of view when the parties are entrenched in different deeply held beliefs or world views. - The debate here is a good example of how difficult it is for people to rationally debate anything. Nicely ironic. Spare us | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/09 In response to "someone" please leave your political and religious beliefs at the door... this song is about war obviously but belief doesnt clearly state that its religion he's reffering to... Also to conclude hes talking about iraq because he says sand is just foolish do you know how many wars have been fought in the "sand" ........ i agree with alec | Reviewer: someone | 3/3/09 this song is mainly about the war in Iraq, "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" - is a clear reference to the war. Alec's interpretation of the lyrics is correct, although unlike him I side with John's message. Belief in the song is clearly referring to religious beliefs which are not motives to fight, but Mayer is also referring to the opinions people give on things they believe in. He is saying that actions speak louder than words evidenced in - "is there anyone you can remember ever surrender with their life on the line?". If you are told to accept a different belief with a gun to your head, will you change it? Belief can change during time and thus cannot be used as a weapon since it is not stable. I personally like the way he wrote the song and songs do not have to be extremely complicated to be great. oh, and john Mayer is not a genius, he is a good songwriter but he is not a genius. leave the term for real geniuses. *sigh* | Reviewer: the wise one | 2/10/09 jeezes alec will you just keep your pants on? Noone is sure what the song means only john mayer himself it might be religion or it might be something else. Is it so important to hold your ground just because someone else comments against you. Whatever they say is not true until you respond to it.... -_- Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Review the song Belief The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
