Bilingual
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 her flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's a song of hope
It's a song of peace
It's a song of every man
ย
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
There are no bombs, no sickness or disease
No starving child to feed
And 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
ย
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I can't comprehend
What all this fighting's for
And from a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's a voice of hope
It's a voice of peace
It's a voice of every man
It's a love of loves
It's a hope of hopes
It's a heart in every man
