Tears Are Not Enogh
Bryan Adams · Other Songs - Bryan Adams
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
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 a 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
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 ressemble
D´ici l´autre bout du monde
Let´s show them Canada still cares
You know that we´ll be there
[Chorus]
If we should try together you and I
Maybe we could understand the reason why
If we can take a stand every woman, child and man
We can make it work for God´s sake lend a hand
[Chorus]
Tears Are Not Enough

While the song does not appear on his major studio releases, it fits seamlessly within the broader context of his work, echoing the vulnerability found in hits like 'Heaven' and 'Straight From The Heart.' The recording captures Adams' characteristic vocal delivery, characterized by a raw intensity that underscores the narrative of a love that has outlasted its capacity to heal. As part of his ongoing body of work, the track contributes to his legacy as an artist who consistently delivers emotionally resonant music that resonates with listeners seeking connection through shared vulnerability.
