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're 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 fighting is 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 of every man.
|
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
|
God is watching us from a distance.
|
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
|
God is watching us from a distance.
