From A Distance - Bette Midler

"From A Distance Lyrics"

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

And there are no guns, no bombs and 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 are the songs of every man

God is watching us

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

And it's the hope of hopes

It's the love of loves

It's the heart of every man

It's the hope of hopes

It's the love of loves

This is the song of every man.

God is watching us

From a distance

God is watching us

From a distance

[Repeat to Fade]

This song by Bette Midler, was a huge hit for her.Yet I don't think many people know its true intent or what the writer intended it to be.It is about humanity in general, and also a world of what could be, if we only gave little things to change. To me, this song is a lot like the song "Imagine" by John Lennon. When you view from a distance the differences merge. From this point of view, there is hope and peace. There is enough. There is comradeship. There is harmony. This is how God views us, not focusing on what separates us, but what unites us. We should likewise view the world from a similar perspective.
