From a distance the world is blue and green,
And the snow-capped mountains white;
From a distance the oceans 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, 
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 
God is watching us, 
God is watching us, God is watching us
From a distance
