       G5             C5         D5        G5 
From a distance, the world looks blue and green  
        C5           D5         G5       D5  C5 
And the snow capped mountains white  
       G5             C5     D5         G5 
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream  
G5     C5     D5        G5      D5 
And the eagle takes to flight  
G5      C5     D5       E5 
From a distance, there is harmony 
       C5      G5          G5   D5 
And it echoes through the land   
         C5        G5            C5        G5 
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace 
         C5        D5     G5    D5  C5  G5  C5  G5  D5 
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 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  

  
G5    C5        D5              G5    E5 
God is watching us, God is watching us, 
E5    A5      C5 D5      G5 
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 can't comprehend  

What all this war 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 
 

    G5    C5        D5              G5    E5 
And God is watching us, God is watching us, 
E5    A5      C5 D5      G5 
God is watching us, from a distance  
   G5    A5          C5             E5  G5  C5  A5  D5  G5 
Oh God is watching us, from a distance
