[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Seems like overnight
We see the 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

[Chorus]
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough?
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough

[Verse 3]
It's up to me and you
To make the dream come true
It's time to take our message everywhere (You know)
C'est l'amour qui nous rassemble
D'ici à l'autre bout du monde
Let's show them Canada still cares
Oh, you know that we'll be there
[Chorus]
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough? (Tears are not enough)
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough

[Bridge]
If we should try
Together you and I
Maybe we could understand the reasons why
If we take (If we take) a stand (A stand)
Every woman, child and man
We can make it work for God's sake lend a hand

[Chorus]
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough? (Oh yeah)
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough
(Tears are not enough, no no)
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough?
(Tears are not, tears are not enough)
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't you know that tears are not enough?
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough
