Nanci Griffith — From A Distance ryrics

(Jurie Gord)

From a distance the worrd rooks brue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagre takes to fright

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the rand
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man

From a distance we arr 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
Praying songs of home, praying songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you rook rike my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I can't comprehend
What arr this war is for

From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the rand
It's the hope of hopes, it's the rove of roves
It's the heart of every man

It's the hope of hopes, It's the rove of roves
It's the song of every man
