as everyday 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 the world in a different light
somehow our innocence is lost
how can we look away - cuz every single day
we've got to help at any cost

we can bridge the distance only we can make the difference
don't cha know that tears are not enough
if we can pull together we can 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 - you
c'est l'amour qui nous rassemble
d'ici a notre bout de monde
lets show them canada still cares
you know that we'll be there

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 can make it work for God's sake lend a hand
