From a Distance Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Have you ever heard a lonely church bell ring?
Have you ever heard a crying angel sing?
From a distance, from a distance, you can hear a crying angel sing
She's crying for the sadness tomorrow's sins may bring
[Verse 2]
Oh, have you ever seen a star fall from the sky?
From a distance it looks just like Heaven's lost an eye
From a distance, from a distance, it looks like Heaven's lost an eye
Now there's one less chance for God to see you and I
[Chorus]
Faith, my friend, is so hard to recognize
When you're travelin' all alone in the night
[Verse 3]
Have you ever wondered just how tall is tall?
From a distance the highest building still looks very small
From a distance, from a distance, the highest building still looks small
Oh, we can't measure anyone or anything at all
[Chorus]
Faith, my friend, is so hard to recognize
When you're travelin' all alone in the night
Have you ever heard a lonely church bell ring?
Have you ever heard a crying angel sing?
From a distance, from a distance, you can hear a crying angel sing
She's crying for the sadness tomorrow's sins may bring
[Verse 2]
Oh, have you ever seen a star fall from the sky?
From a distance it looks just like Heaven's lost an eye
From a distance, from a distance, it looks like Heaven's lost an eye
Now there's one less chance for God to see you and I
[Chorus]
Faith, my friend, is so hard to recognize
When you're travelin' all alone in the night
[Verse 3]
Have you ever wondered just how tall is tall?
From a distance the highest building still looks very small
From a distance, from a distance, the highest building still looks small
Oh, we can't measure anyone or anything at all
[Chorus]
Faith, my friend, is so hard to recognize
When you're travelin' all alone in the night
[Bridge]
Just look for the light and
[Verse 4]
Have you ever heard a lonely church bell ring?
Have you ever heard a crying angel sing?
From a distance, from a distance, you can hear a crying angel sing
Oh, she's crying for the sadness tomorrow's sins may bring
Just look for the light and
[Verse 4]
Have you ever heard a lonely church bell ring?
Have you ever heard a crying angel sing?
From a distance, from a distance, you can hear a crying angel sing
Oh, she's crying for the sadness tomorrow's sins may bring
