FROM A DISTANCE
(Lyrics & Music : Julie Gold)
Bette Middler 


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.
