Nanci Griffith - From A Distance lyrics

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 disease No hungry mouse 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 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
