belief vs knowledge

"Belief
Makes things real
Makes things feel
Feel alright
Belief
Makes things true
Things like you
You and I"

These lyrics are from Gavin Degraw's song belief. I have probably heard this song over 100 times, but i never really thought hard about the lyrics. During our in-depth discussion in class regarding the differences between believe and knowledge i couldn't stop thinking about this song. Check it out, its a really beautiful song. According to his lyrics, he answers the question we were asking in class, which was "If you believe in something, do you know it to be true," when he says "belief makes things true." Do you agree with statement?

The rest of the lyrics are really interesting, if you want to check them out at :
