From A Distance – Bette Midler

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 fight
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
There are no guns, no bomb and no disease, no hungry mounts to feed
From a distance, we are instruments marching in a common band
Playing songs of hope, playing song of peace, they’re the song of every man

Chorus:
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 echoes through the land
It’s hope of hope, it’s the love of love. It’s the heart of every man
It’s the hope of hope, it’s the love of love. This is the song of every man. And

Chorus twice
