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 and it's the voice of hope and it's the voice of peace it's the voice of every man From a distance The world sings Silent Night Like a soft embracing song From a distance From a distance The words sound sweet and clear And all is bright and calm 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 God is watching us God is watching God is watching us I know he's watching God is watching us From a distance Gloria In excelsis deo From a distance You you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I just I can not comprehend What all this fighting's for From a distance There is harmony Do you hear it echo through The land It's the song of joy It's the song of peace It's the heart of every man In the season of Universal love This is the song of every man God is watching watching God is watching us I know he's watching watching us From a distance God is watching us God is watching God is watching us I know he's watching God is watching us From a distance Oh come let us adore him Joy to the world
