 >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  thru 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  bombs  no disease  no hungry  mouths to feed
 >From  a distance  we  are instruments marching  to  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
 
   distance
 
 >From a distance you look like my friend even though we are at
 war
 >From  a distance  I  can't comprehend  what  all this  war is for
 >From  a distance  there  is harmony and  it echoes  thru the  land
 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 it's the  soul
 of  every  man
