From a distance

    All of the arguing here on the forum brought this song to mind. Don't ask me why, it just did.

    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 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.

    "I don't want someone in my life I can live with, I want someone in my life I can't live without."

    Never been in an aeroplane, bboy? Never seen the Earth from a different perspective other than on ground level? Cos that's what this song is about. Looking at things in the big picture. When we stand back to look at things, they don't appear to be the same as when we focus on things minutely.

    Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees.

    The arguing is fine. It's what fuels a discussion board. The manner in which it's conducted at times reminds me of this ancient one from Alice:

    Desperado

    I'm a gambler
    And I'm a runner
    But you knew that
    When you lay down

    I'm a picture
    Of ugly stories
    I'm a killer
    And I'm a clown

    Step into the street by sundown
    Step into your last goodbye
    You're a target just by living
    Twenty dollars will make you die

    I wear lace
    And I wear black leather
    My arms are lightning
    On my gun

    My shots are clean
    And my, my shots are final
    My shots are deadly
    And when it's done

    You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
    You're as dead as a desert night
    You're a notch
    And I'm a legend
    You're at peace
    And I must hide

    Tell me where the hell I'm going
    Let my bones fall in the dust
    Can't you hear that ghost that's calling
    As my Colt begins to rust
    In the dust

    I'm a killer
    I'm a clown
    I'm a priest
    That's gone to town

    Seven
