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.
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
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.

Such a great piece of art! Love this song😁
Such a great piece of art! Love this song😁
In 2020 I can still this as possible.
I hope so. I love this song and wish of war no more! We the people can do this, we just need to throw our swords into rocks...
Blessed be💕🕯
This song reminds me the rise of Tomahawks and Scud missiles..
I hear and remember in 1988
1. The visuals are so much better than The Lord of the Flies.
2. Enough talk, I'm going to DC and blast this song
Kaya fm
Skhumba brought me here
2020 this song reminds me of my childhood days ,watching from Kenya a real throwback song,it really makes me she'd tearing reminding me of my late twin brother rip Milton
For some strange reason, this song was listed as number 14 on Blender Magazine's 50 worst songs ever.
Wow! I think it's my top 3 favorite songs of all time
Such a peaceful song...
CAN YOU ALL AGREE THAT GOD IS ALSO NAUGHTY.. BECAUSE OF THIS SONG. IMAGINE GOD IS WATCHING ASS GOD IS WATCHING ASS FROM A DISTANCE.😁😭🙂🙊
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..
2020! Are you with me?!
IT'S NOT LOOKING FROM A DISTANCE IT IS SO CLOSE TO US PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALIZE :)
NO MORE CHANGE MY LIFE 80 70 06 YEARS OLD.................PRIMOSE TO THE LORD. AMEN.
Wish 2 go back to the 90s !
2020 ?
I was just thinking the same thing the other day how I wish I could go back to the 90s
Beautiful. If only our world can be like this.
THROW THE SWORDS AND BREAK THEM INTO ROCKS.
STOP THE HATE.
LET PEACE INTO YOUR HEART
Blessed be my friends
💕🕯
I can't stop loving this song
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.
She believes in God , she's jewish, and from her belief she's expressing what the Torah is saying. Just what I feel...

Is anyone still enjoying this song with me 2020! This song reminds me of so many memories both good and bad
population zero LIFE AFTER PEOPLE

@FreeSpirit and i
Wish there was a dislike button
I think it's 'MIRACULOUS' not 1 person has put a thumb's down as for what I've seen. In other word's,,, there is something TOTALLY gifted about this woman. Why can't it always be this way w/ nearly anyone?
When I was a little girl I used to attend a catholic school on Staten Island, NYC. Our teacher taught us this song on the 1st day of 1st grade and we sung it proudly everyday. Thank you Sister Lovejoy wherever you may be 💗
Leana_ya'know I know 4 guys who are from their
Sal Vulcano Joe Gatto Brian Quinn James Murray aka The Impractical Jokers
from a distance I can still smell you Kenny my dear friend xxx
When we think we alone God is watching no man understand
one of the sweetest voices of all time.
2020 I need more peace in my life
Light a candle at night and sit and stare and relax and peace will enter
Blessed be💕🕯
There are no words to explain how amazing this song is only one person could of sang it! This should touch everyone
Thankyou miss Devine.
2020 somebody?!!??
I am still here in 2020
I still enjoy all of Better Midler's songs
who is listening to it in January 2020
This song makes me think of the war going on now with Iran
If they every do the B. Midler story Sara Jessica Parker should play her wow they look alike
2020
And this song still makes me smile
Especially remembering all the memories I’ve had with this song playing when I was a lil baby 🥺❤️
Einfach wunderbar. Ewigen Dank an Bette Midler
First person in 2020 here. And emotional!!! Love Bette Midler
January 2020, im here because the world is hanging at its balance. I hope its doesn't end in ww3.
😞 me too
Civil war is trying to break out again here in the US.
Wars everywhere
😞😞
Great song with great hopes and truths mixed into one
Ah yes, middle school choir class in the late 90's "GOD IS FUCKING US FROM A DISTANCE" teacher either didn't hear us or simply didn't care, imma go with the latter.
Wonderfull, words are not enough
Such a beautiful song! ❤️ Bette Midler
I think that I read somewhere that Bette was involved with the care of community gardens in the city. I would love to get involved with volunteering with that as well.
She is a beautiful soul spirit
Love you Bet!
LOVE YOUR SONGS FOREVER + YOUR HONEST GREAT TWEET TO AUSTRALIA USELESS SCOT MORRISON !!!
Gone at no guns...bye!
Wow only 4.5 million views?? This is sad very sad
Listening to this beautiful song on January 2nd 2020. Almost 30 years after this song came out. Hard to believe. Peace, Light and Love to all.
Happy New Year 2020! Does anyone out there realise the children in the video are around 40 years old now (2020)? Wow!
Happy new year 🍻
Happy new year
Hope and Peace. They are the fruits of our loving Father Who Is Watching Us. He watches and calls us friends. He leads us to harmony in self and true love for all humanity. I love you Bette Midler
One of my alltime favorite songs by one if my favorite singers, the great Bette Midler.
swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspaniala bette midler
Yamaha DX7
This song really helped me through a difficult time when I was coming out x
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
Whose God, though? We humans think we have it all figured out, but we know nothing.
God what a fucking awful song.
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.
My favourite song since childhood,now I am in 50 still listening,Mind blowing
DESERT STORM
Gulf war
Still playing and enjoying this song even in this very day, Dec. 2019
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
And a woman.
Love it powerful message and delivery.
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.
Quieralo 🎙🎤🎼🎶🎹📺📻💋
Still listening in 2019! I love how she sings it with a smile and so effortlessly! Real talent! Fabulous singer and fabulous actress.
Yes she is
I danced with her to this song at the grade 6 dance... The one that got away.
