Something's got us so distracted And keeps our mind off what is real But if we could overcome the borders of our pride Made to conquer, to confuse, and to divide That's what's keeping us from standing side by side A million teardrops make an ocean And only love can stand the tide The gift of hope and true devotion Will forever be my guide Chances are that we will make it But there'll be stones along the way There's no shame in giving love or to take it There is only shame when you see the pain and turn away Can we live like this yet another day A million teardrops make an ocean And only love can stand the tide The gift of hope and true devotion Will forever be my guide And we all are seeds In this garden we call life And we all deserve the chance to grow Though the tempest has Us weeping in our hearts With those falling tears We will water what we've sown A million teardrops make an ocean But only love can stand the tide The gift of hope and true devotion Will forever be my guide
