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.
