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?")

Oh man it's been like FOREVER since I've listened to this song...I'll listen to it now and try to put names to the lines...no promises....

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
It's time to take our message everywhere ya know Corey Hart

C'est l'amour qui nous rassemble
D'ici ?l'autre bout du monde
Let's show them Canada still cares
Oh and you know that we'll be there Geddy Lee

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
Don't ya know that tears are not enough
(Oh Yeah - Bryan Adams)
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough
(Tears are not enough no no no - Mike Reno)
We can bridge the distance bridge the distance (Mark Holmes - Platinum Blonde)
Only we can make the difference
Don't ya know that tears are not enough
Tears are not, tears are not enough (Carole Pope - Rough Trade)
If we can pull together
We could change the world forever
Heaven knows that tears are not enough

Repeat chorus ad nauseum...


I'll keep listening and if I can figure out any more I'll let ya know....
