from a distance
From a distance the world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight  From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope It's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man  From a distance we all have enough And no one is in need And there are no guns, no bombs and no disease No hungry mouths to feed  From a distance we are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of hope Playing songs of peace They are the songs of every man  God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us from a distance  From a distance you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I just cannot comprehend What all this fightings for From a distance there is harmony  And it echoes through the land And it's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves It's the heart of every man It's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves This is the song for every man  God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us from a distance  God is watching us God is watching  God is watching us from a distance
