I believe that, among British troops, this was the most requested song during the war in Kuait. I just hope and pray that it remains that way. Peace please.

FROM A DISTANCE (Julie Gold)

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 It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of everyman.

From a distance we all have enough and no one is in need, There are no guns, no bombs, no disease and no hungry mouths to feed, From a distance we are all instruments marching in a common band, Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace, they're the songs of everyman.

Chorus: God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us from a distance

From a distance you look like my friend eventhough we are at war, From a distance I can't comprehend what all this war is for, And 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 everyman.

Chorus: God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us from a distance It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, it's the heart of everyman.
