As every day goes by, how can we close our eyes

Until we open up our hearts

We can learn to share and show how much we care

Right from the moment that we start

It seems like overnight we see a world in a different light

Somehow our innocence is lost

How can we look away 'cause every single day

We've got to help at any cost

We can bridge the distance

Only we can make the difference

Don't you know that

Tears are not enough

If we can hold together

We could change the world forever

Heaven knows that tears are not enough

It's up to me and you

To make the dream come true

It's time to take our message everywhere

C'est l'amour qui nous rassemble

D'ici a l'autre bout du monde

Let's show them Canada still cares

Oh, you know that we'll be there

We can bridge the distance

Only we can make the difference

Don't you know that

Tears are not enough

If we can hold together

We could change the world forever

Heaven knows that tears are not enough

And if we should try together, you and I

Maybe we could understand the reasons why

If we take a stand,

Every woman, child, and man

We could make it work

For God's sake, lend a hand
