From a Distance - Nanci Griffith

[00:02.16]From a Distance
[00:05.16]John Barrowman
[00:10.16]
[00:15.94]From a distance the world looks blue and green,
[00:22.61]and the snow-capped mountains white.
[00:29.79]From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
[00:36.64]and the eagle takes to flight.
[00:42.00]
[00:44.40]From a distance, there is harmony,
[00:51.17]and it echoes through the land.
[00:58.29]It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
[01:05.51]it's the voice of every man.
[01:11.27]
[01:16.93]From a distance we all have enough,
[01:23.20]and no one is in need.
[01:31.01]And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
[01:38.97]no hungry mouths to feed.
[01:43.22]
[01:46.15]From a distance we are instruments
[01:53.17]marching in a common band.
[01:59.96]Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
[02:07.01]They're the songs of every man.
[02:13.95]God is watching us. God is watching us.
[02:20.79]God is watching us from a distance.
[02:27.42]
[02:46.20]From a distance you look like my friend,
[02:53.03]even though we are at war.
[03:00.04]From a distance I just cannot comprehend
[03:07.03]what all this fighting is for.
[03:12.36]
[03:15.00]From a distance there is harmony,
[03:22.00]and it echoes through the land.
[03:28.86]And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
[03:35.71]it's the heart of every man.
[03:41.83]
[03:42.78]God is watching us, God is watching us,
[03:49.70]God is watching us from a distance.
[03:56.97]Oh, God is watching us, God is watching us
[04:04.46]God is watching us
[04:11.72]from a distance.
