From a Distance Songtext
von 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 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's 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 (every man)

It′s the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for 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
