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
