今朝nhkラジオを聴いていると、ベッドミドラーの歌うこの曲が流れてきました。のびやかでメロディーラインの美しい曲でしたが、歌詞の内容は良く把握できませんでしたので、ここに紹介したいと思います。

From a Distance
by Julie Gold
From a distance, the wold looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance , the ocean meet 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
Its the voice of peace
It's ethe 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's for
From a distance, there is harmony
And it echoes through the la nd
And it'sthe hope of hopes
