The War And Treaty - From A Distance Lyrics

The War And Treaty Lyrics

"From A Distance"
(originally by Nanci Griffith)

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snowcapped 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
And it's the voice of hope
And 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, 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 cannot comprehend
What all this fighting is for

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And it's the hope of hopes
And it's the love of loves
It's the heart 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

God is watching us from a distance
