Hi Guys

Its Chaste here and Im back this week for the theme of "Lets Defeat The Distance".

As soon as I knew the theme I know the song I want to sing this week,its called "From A Distance" .It was written in 1985 by the American Song writter
Julie Gold .Bette Midler record the song in 1990 ,its her version I am singing this week.

There are many beautiful lyrics in the song but the one I think stands out is this

"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"

We hive musicians are like the instuments marching in the common band with our songs of hope and peace :D

I hope you will enjoy listening to my version of this beautiful song.

"From A Distance"

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's 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 (every man)

It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
This is the song for 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
