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'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 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   (Every man)      It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves   This is the song of every man      And God is watching us, God is watching us   God is watching us from a distance   Oh, God is watching us, God is watching   God is watching us from a distance
