Version 1 Version 2[Verse 1] G C D G From a distance the world looks blue and green, C D G C D and the snow-capped mountains white. G C D G From a distance the ocean meets the stream, C D G and the eagle takes to flight. [Refrain 1] C D Em From a distance, there is harmony, C G D and it echoes through the land. C G C G It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, C D G C it's the voice of every man. [Verse 2] G C D G From a distance we all have enough, C D G C and no one is in need. G C D Em And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease, C D G no hungry mouths to feed. [Refrain 2] C D Em From a distance we are instruments C G D marching in a common band. C G C G Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. C D G They're the songs of every man. C D G Em God is watching us. God is watching us. Am D G God is watching us from a distance. [Verse 3] G C D G From a distance you look like my friend, C D G C even though we are at war. G C D Em From a distance I just cannot comprehend C D G C what all this fighting is for. [Refrain/Outro] C D Em From a distance there is harmony, C G D and it echoes through the land. C G And it's the hope of hopes, C G it's the love of loves, C D Em it's the heart of every man. C G C G It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves. C D G This is the song of every man. C D G Em And God is watching us, God is watching us, Am D G God is watching us from a distance. C D G Em Oh, God is watching us, God is watching. Am D G God is watching us from a distance.
