Present Simple by Bette Midler (present simple)

From A Distance  by Bette Midler

From a distance the world  1                      (look) blue and green
And the snow capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean 2                               (meet) the stream
And the eagle 3                           (take) to flight

From a distance, there is harmony
And it 4                                  (echo) 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 5                        (is) 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 6                           (look) like my friend
Even though we 7                       (is) at war
From a distance I just cannot 8                      (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
(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
