FROM A DISTANCE
G C D G
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
C D G ( C,D)
and the snow-capped mountains white.
G C D G
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
C D G
and the eagle takes to flight.

REFRAIN 1
C D Em
From a distance, there is harmony,
C G D
and it echoes through the land.
C G C G
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
C D G, C pause
it's the voice of every man.

G C D G
From a distance we all have enough,
C D G C
and no one is in need.

G C D Em
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
C D G
no hungry mouths to feed.

REFRAIN 2
C D Em
From a distance we are instruments
C G D
marching in a common band.
C G C G
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
C D G
They're the songs of every man.

C D G Em
God is watching us. God is watching us.
C D G
God is watching us from a distance.


G C D G
From a distance you look like my friend,
C D G C
even though we are at war.
G C D Em
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
C D G, C(pause)
what all this fighting is for.

G D Em
From a distance there is harmony,
C G D
and it echoes through the land.
C G
And it's the hope of hopes,
C G
it's the love of loves,
C D Em
it's the heart of every man.
C G C G
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
C D G
This is the song of every man.
C D G Em
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
C D G
God is watching us from a distance.
C D G Em
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
C D G
God is watching us from a distance.
