Nanci Griffith From A Distance
FROM A DISTANCE / Nanci Griffith
From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
and the snow caped mountains, white.
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream,
and the Eagle takes to fly.
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 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 / song of every man
