From a Distance

I have the FoxFire Browser loaded on my pc and it has a feature called Stumble. When you click on the Stumble button it randomly selects one of about a billion webpages and brings it to your computer screen.
Today when I did that it returned a picture of earth shot from space by one of the NASA crafts and it is quite beautiful.
This view put a song in mind: "From A Distance" The lyrics are below.

From a Distance by Julie Gold
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.
There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases,
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 cannot comprehend
What all the fighting is for.
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land.
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.

    Now you've done it. Made me start a search through my many piano books to find that song. Have not succeeded yet, but when I do -- gonna play it over and over.
