From A Distance - Phil Coulter

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

There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases

No hungry mouths to feed

From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of home, 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 can’t comprehend

What all this war is 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 heart of every man

It’s the hope of hopes, It’s the love of loves

It’s the song of every man
