Belief is a beautiful armour


I was listening to this today by John Mayer today and it really resonated. Wanted to share the lyrics as it's so much of what I see being tussled with in relationships; People fighting for their beliefs. 

Belief is a beautiful armour, because we feel it protects us from being hurt, but when you hit someone you love with it, you can really hurt them. 

How can we work together to accept and respect each other's beliefs?



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

Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily

Belief is a beautiful armour
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
