From a distance

(An old diary from GOS)

From a distance

The world looks blue and green

Earth

And the snow capped mountain is white

Mountain

From a distance

The ocean meets the stream

Ocean meeting stream

And the eagle takes to flight

eagle

From a distance

There is harmony

Beethoven

And it echoes through the land

It’s the voice of hope

Hope

It’s the voice of peace

Peace

It’s the voice of every man

Humans

From a distance

We all have enough

enough

And no one is in need

starve

And there are no guns,

guns


No bombs

bombs

       and no disease,

aids

No hungry mouths to feed

hunger

From a distance

We are instruments

Marching in a common band

Band

Playing songs of hope

Playing songs of peace

Peacechance

They are the songs of every man

Humanity

God is watching usGod 1

God 2God is watching us

God is watching usgod 3

From a distance

From a distance

You look like my friend

friend

Even though we are at war

war

From a distance

I just cannot comprehend

What all this fighting is for

Calvin

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

God is watching us

God is watching us

God is watching us

From a distance

    “We Are One” by Dan Seals

    (Sorry, I don’t know how to embed video).

    The Lyrics:

    In a bombed out room in Belfast

    A young boy is crying

    He’s alone and he don’t understand

    How the teachings of one book

    Built on love and understanding

    Could cause the hurt and killing in his land

    In an old part of Jerusalem

    Two children are playing

    They run and laugh

    The way it’s meant to be

    But one will wear the star and one will wear the crescent

    And they’ll grow up and change from friends to enemies

    But we are one

    Flowers of one garden

    We’re one the leaves of one tree

    Let the walls come down

    And stand here together

    We are one family

    In a Pakistani village

    A young boy on crutches

    Takes a fall

    And lies helplessly there

    And he holds out his hand

    But no one will take it

    They won’t touch him

    Or the clothes that he wears

    On a side street in Selma

    A black child is sitting

    In a squad car

    Protected from the whites

    ‘Cause they’re burning a cross

    To send her a message

    And you can see

    The fear in her eyes

    But we are one

    Flowers of one garden

    We’re one the leaves of one tree

    Let the walls come down

    And stand here together

    We are one family

    Ponder in our hearts

    How we were all created

    From the same dust, same dust

    And searching we will find

    That spirit of the age

    Has come to find us

    To find us

    But we are one

    Flowers of one garden

    We’re one the leaves of one tree

    Let the walls come down

    And stand here together

    We are one family

    Makes me cry every danged time I hear it, but I love it.
