We Are More Than One (2021)

If you can be kind, be kind
If you can be warm
Be warm and wise
Be the unexpected smile
To the stranger on the street
Maybe someone's only shelter from the storm

If you can give love, give love
If you can be strong, be strong enough
To live and just let live
And free your heart's potential
There's beauty to be found in being gentle

Be gentle in your actions and your words
It's simple
Sometimes life can really hurt
Remember to have faith
Find some patience and some grace
Oh, there's beauty to be found in being gentle

If you can be brave, be brave
If you can make a change
Make that change today
And if it can't be done
Then never be resentful
There's beauty to be found in being gentle

Oh, don't you realise
There's no compromise
Between wrong and right
And when it comes to love
You can't give enough
Why can't you and I just be gentle
