G G G C A x2 G C D Em C D G From a distance the world looks blue and green and the snow-capped mountains white. G C D Em C D G From a distance the ocean meets the stream and the eagle takes to flight. C D Em C G D D7 From a distance there is harmony and it echoes through the land. C G C G C D G It's the voice of hope it's the voice of peace it's the voice of every man. G C D Em C D G From a distance we all have enough and no one is in need. G C D Em C D G And there are no guns no bombs and no disease no hungry mouths to feed. C D Em C G D D7 From a distance we are instruments marching in a common band. C G C G C D G Playing songs of hope playing songs of peace - they're the songs of every man. C D G Em C D G God is watching us. God is watching us. God is watching us from a distance. G C D G C D G From a distance you look like my friend even though we are at war. G C D G C D G From a distance I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for. C D Em C G D D7 From a distance there is harmony and it echoes through the land. C G C G C D G And it's the hope of hopes it's the love of loves it's the heart of every man. C G C G C D G It's the hope of hopes it's the love of loves - This is the song of every man. C D G Em C D G And God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us from a distance. C D G Em C D G Oh God is watching us God is watching. God is watching us from a distance.
