To be humble, to be kind.
It is the giving of the peace in your mind.
To a stranger, to a friend
To give in such a way that has no end.

We are love, we are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done.
We are peace, we are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more

To be bold, to be brave.
It is the thinking that the heart can still be saved
And the darkness can come quick
The danger’s in the anger and the hanging on to it.

We are love, we are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done.
We are peace, we are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more

Tell me what it is that you see
A world that’s filled with endless possibility?
Heroes don’t look like they used to, they look like you do.

We are love, we are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done.
We are peace, we are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
We are how we treat each other
