Cliff Richard

From a Distance

From a distance,
The world looks blue and green,
And the snow capped mountains so 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 and no disease
No hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments,
Matching 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 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.
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
This is the song of every man.
