Music Monday: The Alternate Routes - "Nothing More"

The world feels so hard to handle lately.
So heavy.
So tense.
So angry.
So ... much.

The lyrics of this song have been in the back of my mind for the past few weeks. A quick search shows I've never shared it in this space. Long overdue. These guys are fabulous, and this song is perfect for our current times.

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 onto 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 is that you see
A world full of endless possibilities?
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
