From a distance The earth 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 had enough And no one is in need 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 from a distance From a distance You look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I cannot comprehend What all this fighting's for From a distance There is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves It's the voice of every man
