Bette Midler - From A Distance lyrics

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.
