Subject: "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights
Written By: Stephanie (Guest) on 12/02/02 at 09:18 a.m.
I found lyrics to the 1985 song "Tears Are Not Enough" performed in turn by a large group of Canada's most prominent pop musicians, but I would also like to know who sang which line. Can anyone help me with the attributions?
(See also USA's "We Are the World" and Britain's "Do They Know It's Christmas?")

As every day goes by how can we close our eyes Gordon Lightfoot
Until we open up our hearts Burton Cummings
We can learn to share and show how much we care Anne Murray
Right from the moment that we start Joni Mitchell
Seems like overnight we see the world in a different light Dan Hill
Somehow our innocence is lost Neil Young
How can we look away 'cause every single day Bryan Adams
We've got to help at any cost All
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't ya know that tears are not enough
If we can pull 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 no idea..a guy and a chick

We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
Don't ya know that tears are not enough
If we can pull 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 can make it work for God's sake lend a hand Mike Reno
We can bridge the distance
Only we can make the difference
