FROM A DISTANCE
GCDG
From a distance the world looks blue and green,
C D G ( C,D)
and the snow-capped mountains white.
GCDG
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
CDG
and the eagle takes to flight.
REFRAIN 1
CDEm
From a distance, there is harmony,
CGD
and it echoes through the land.
CGCG
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
C D G, C pause
it's the voice of every man.
GCDG
From a distance we all have enough,
CDGC
and no one is in need.
GCDEm
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
CDG
no hungry mouths to feed.
REFRAIN 2
CDEm
From a distance we are instruments
CGD
marching in a common band.
CGCG
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
CDG
They're the songs of every man.
CDGEm
God is watching us. God is watching us.
CDG
God is watching us from a distance.
GCDG
From a distance you look like my friend,
CDGC
even though we are at war.
GCDEm
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
C D G, C(pause)
what all this fighting is for.
GDEm
From a distance there is harmony,
CGD
and it echoes through the land.
CG
And it's the hope of hopes,
CG
it's the love of loves,
CDEm
it's the heart of every man.
CGCG
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
CDG
This is the song of every man.
CDGEm
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
CDG
God is watching us from a distance.
CDGEm
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
CDG
God is watching us from a distance.
