Nanci Griffith - 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 the echo 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
And no bombs and no diseases
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Matching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
There is the song of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance,
Ooh God is watching us...from a distance
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we're at war
From a distance, I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for?
It's the hope of?, it's the love of all
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of? it's the love of all
It is the song of every man
Ooh God is watching us, God is watching us
From a distance

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 the echo 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
And no bombs and no diseases
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance, we are instruments
Matching in a common band
Playing songs of hope
Playing songs of peace
There is the song of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us, from a distance,
Ooh God is watching us...from a distance
From a distance, you look like my friend
Even though we're at war
From a distance, I just cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for?
It's the hope of?, it's the love of all
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of? it's the love of all
It is the song of every man
Ooh God is watching us, God is watching us
From a distance
