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 the love
^ 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 plan
^ 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 is 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
It's the hope of hopes^
It's the love of loves
^ This is the song of [ 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
