From A Distance Lyrics By Bette Midler

    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 are 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

    it’s the hope of hopes
    it’s the love of loves
    this is the song of every man

    god is watching us
    god is watching us
    god is watching us
    from a distance
