[B] [F#] [B]
[F#] [C#] From [F#] a distance the world looks blue and green, and the snow [D#m] [C#]-capped [F#] mountains white.
From a distance the [B] ocean [C#]
meets the [F#] stream, and [B]
the eagle [C#] takes [F#] to flight.
From a [B] distance there [F#] is harmony, [D#m] [F#]
and [B] it echoes [F#] through the [C#] land.
It's [B] the voice [F#] of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's [B] the voice [C#] of heaven [F#] here.
[B] [C#]
From [F#] a distance [B] we all [C#] have [F#] enough, [B] and no [C#] one is [F#] in need.
There are no guns,
[B] no [C#]
[D#m] bullets, there's [B] no hungry
[C#] mouths [F#] to feed.
From a [B] distance [C#] we are [D#m] instruments, marching [B] in a [F#] common [C#]
band.
Playing [B] the songs [F#] of hope, playing [B] the songs [F#] of peace, they're [B] the songs of [C#] every [F#] man.
God [B] is watching [C#] us, God [F#] is watching [D#m] us, God [G#m] is watching us.

[F#] from a distance, you [B] look [C#] like my [F#] friend, even [B] though [C#] we are [F#] at war.
From a distance I [B] [C#] can't [D#m] comprehend [B] what all [C#] this war [F#] is for.
[B] From a distance
[C#] there is [D#m] harmony, [B] and it echoes [F#] through the [C#] land.
It's [B] the hope [F#] of hope, it's [B] the love [F#] of love, it's the [B] heart of [C#] every [D#m] man.
It's [B] the hope [F#] of hope, it's [B] the love [F#] of love, it's the [B] song [C#] of every [F#] man.
