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


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 band

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

(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
