Bette Midler - From A Distance Lyrics






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 every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

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 us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.

    H.... ....

    As an atheist I understand what you're saying but this song is beautifully done...
    And not all gods of the universe are jerks. The gods in the bible are..

  37. J.... A....

    I can't stop loving this song

  38. M.... S....

    I'm now seeing all the irony in this song.. How God is watching a perfect world from a distance but what's actually happening is the opposite.. But there is a God And does is watch us from a distance.. Even her expressions are a bit over the top and have sarcastic under tones.

    M.... S....

    She believes in God , she's jewish, and from her belief she's expressing what the Torah is saying. Just what I feel...

  39. H.... G....

    njir ada anak maranatha awokaowk

    Yamaha DX7

  83. C.... ....

    This song really helped me through a difficult time when I was coming out x

  84. J.... H....

    I wish there was more of this from a distance.i wish God had invited more of this from a distance.god gave more invites of the lost and in loss.those of us who lost their way.i pray for this at a distance

    J.... H....

    Whose God, though? We humans think we have it all figured out, but we know nothing.

  85. V.... ....

    God what a fucking awful song.

  86. L.... L....

    God is watching us. I believe in it. What ever happens to our world. We are responsible for it no one else. One thing I learned . Every country has the president they deserve. Most are not better. They get what they deserve. They steel and insult and get what they deserve. I hope for their whole life.

  90. I.... J....

    Still playing and enjoying this song even in this very day, Dec. 2019

  91. D.... a....

    If you're listening this in 2019 like I'm just kidding you don't have to like I don't need likes likes are not important

  92. P.... E....

    And a woman.

  93. A.... ....

    Love it powerful message and delivery.

  94. O.... M....

    I'd love for Bette to rerecord this without the god refrain/chorus. It would be a much better inclusive song without religious references. She can reach out to Shelley Segal if she needs help.
