[00:13.94]From a distance the world looks blue and green,
[00:20.61]and the snow-capped mountains white.
[00:27.79]From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
[00:34.64]and the eagle takes to flight.
[00:40.00]
[00:41.40]From a distance, there is harmony,
[00:48.17]and it echoes through the land.
[00:55.29]It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
[01:02.51]it's the voice of every man.
[01:08.27]
[01:13.43]From a distance we all have enough,
[01:19.70]and no one is in need.
[01:27.01]And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
[01:34.97]no hungry mouths to feed.
[01:39.22]
[01:40.65]From a distance we are instruments
[01:47.67]marching in a common band.
[01:54.46]Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
[02:01.51]They're the songs of every man.
[02:08.45]God is watching us. God is watching us.
[02:15.29]God is watching us from a distance.
[02:21.92]
[02:43.70]From a distance you look like my friend,
[02:50.53]even though we are at war.
[02:57.54]From a distance I just cannot comprehend
[03:04.53]what all this fighting is for.
[03:09.86]
[03:11.00]From a distance there is harmony,
[03:18.00]and it echoes through the land.
[03:24.86]And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
[03:31.71]it's the heart of every man.
[03:37.83]
[03:38.78]It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
[03:45.70]This is the song of every man.
[03:52.47]And God is watching us, God is watching us,
[03:59.46]God is watching us from a distance.
[04:06.22]Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
[04:13.54]God is watching us from a distance.
