from a distance

when u're away from home, u begin to miss home.
when u're away from home, u begin to see things at a different perspective.
when u're away from home, u begin to experience new emotions.
and that's where the real learning begins.

suddenly, out of nowhere, this song pops into my head.
i still remember someone telling me how this song was written years ago. i dont remember e exact details, but it was a time of war. the enemies had a new biological weapon: poisonous gas. e ppl knew they were gonna die soon if e gas is released. but they continued to pray and had faith in God. e gas was released, n a miracle happened..e direction of e wind suddenly changed, bringing e poisonous gas into e enemy territory, killing many.
it tells us that although the world today is a cruel and unfair one, love and harmony will always be there.

FROM A DISTANCE
Bette Midler

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
Its the voice of hope
Its the voice of peace
Its 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 are 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 fightings for
From a distance
There is harmony
And it echoes through the land
And its the hope of hopes
Its the love of loves
Its the heart of every man
