From A Distance Lyrics - From A Distance - Nanci Griffith

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 diseases 

No hungry mouths to feed 

From a distance we are instruments 

Marching in a common band 

Playing songs of home, 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
