From A Distance Composer(s): Julie Gold Performer(s): Bette Midler
From a distance, the world looks blue and green And the snow-capped mountains 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, no diseases 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 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
