In the Distance


From a day that a boy sang a song of changin times
with a wind blown voice on freedom flashing chimes
about masters of war and a hard fallen rain
Oh brothers and sisters will the voice come again?


We’ve heard about Goliath, the monster who was
and a kid with a stone who slayed him because
it was time for a hero, it was time for a fall
Oh brothers and sisters, do you hear the call?

In the distance, in the distance
There's a light, do you see?
In the distance, in the distance
Take my hand come with me.

The Jericho walls, like Saddam and Gomorra
are crumbling around us, can you take any more of
the half truths and reason we receive with a wink
Oh brothers and sisters, do you recognize the brink?


We’re awake, there’s no doubt, believe me we hear
all the warnings of disaster, the message is clear
Our voices we share and our hearts are the sun
Oh brothers and sisters, we’re not many, but one.

In the distance, in the distance
There's a light, do you see?
In the distance, in the distance
Take my hand come with me.

Don’t abuse the money changers, they’re not to blame
Storm not the Bastille, we need the exchange
And our systems and technology have been hard fought and won
Oh brothers and sisters, our future has begun

Blow a kiss to our mothers, give a hug to our dads
thank our artists and our minstrels, give a nod to the lads
Let our spirits be our beacon, let our will never cease
Oh brothers and sisters, in the distance it is Peace.

In the distance, in the distance
There's a light, do you see?
In the distance, in the distance
Take my hand come with me.
