it is how we treat each other

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

Tell me what it is that you see

A world that's filled with endless possibilities?

Heroes don't look 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

We talk a lot

We pontificate

We argue

We spew forth

Anger, even rage

Ideologies and theologies

Even hope

And sometimes love

But it is in our living

It is in our loving

That we are revealed

That we are

Sacred Children

It is in our kindness

Our listening

Our generosity

Our compassion

We are peace, we are war

We are love, we are hate

We are how we treat each other
