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 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 cannot comprehend

What all the fighting 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.

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance.
