From a Distance

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 flight,
From a distance, there is harmony and it echoes through the land.
Its the voice of hope, its the voice peace,
its 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,
there is no hungry mouths to feed.
From a distance we are instruments and we're marching a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace,
they're the songs of everyman.
God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us, from a distance.

Joy is like a restless day
But peace divine,
Like quiet night
Lead me, O Lord till perfect
day shall shine
Through peace to Light.

All the world's a stage.
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exists and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages.

An Angel with a trumpet said,
Forevermore, Forevermore,
the reign of violence is over.
