       G             C/G         D        G   
From a distance, the world looks blue and green    
        C           D         G       D  C/G   
And the snow capped mountains white.    
       G             C     D         G   
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream    
G/B     C     D        G      D   
And the eagle takes to flight.    
G      Cmaj7     D       Em   
From a distance, there is harmony   
       C      G/B          G/D   D   
And it echoes through the land.     
         C        G/B            C        G/B   
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,   
         C        D     G    D  C/G  G  C  G/D  D   
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 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're the songs of every man.    
    
  
G/C    C        D              G    Em   
God is watching us, God is watching us,   
Em7    Am7      C/D D      G   
God is watching us, from a distance.    
   
   
From a distance, you look like my friend    
Even though we are at war.   
From a distance, I can't comprehend    
What all this war 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.   
   
   
    G/C    C        D              G    Em   
And God is watching us, God is watching us,   
Em7    Am7      C/D D      G   
God is watching us, from a distance.    
   G/B    Am7          C/D             Em7  G/B  C  Am7  D  G   
Oh God is watching us, from a distance.
