  • ang ganda ng song....

  • Christianity is rooted in the Mystery of 'Christ among you..Your hope of glory!' as articulated by Saint Paul...God is not watching from a distance, but intimately involved in the daily joys and sorrows of His People...No need to prove anything to anyone...Such faith is a gift, and gifts can be accepted or rejected by the recipient...Why is so much anger directed to those of us who accept this gift, and see reality differently?

  • The premise of this song is rather ridiculous. I mean if you put 1000 little girls in a field and set them on fire and then get real real far away it doesn't look like anything bad is happening at all. Just because you get far enough away from the evil miserable shit that's happening everywhere all the time doesn't suddenly make all touchy feely and and harmonic.

  • 10 dislikes come from justin bieber fans

  • if there was god there was peace

  • peace to you all let be as one god is watching us but it up to we 2 help him love this song x

  • what a wonderful job you did putting this video together....your heart shines through in this effort. Thank you

  • 2:56 the last song mad me cry

  • The video is very good a shows how many people have to suffer while only a few live on a very high level.Maybe in the future we will be able to change this unfair system of life =(.

    Bye & thank your for reading this and hopefully thinking about that.

  • Great and inspiring editing =)

  • beautiful

  • I unfortunately do not have the song on my computer anymore.However the song can be downloaded on iTunes, and it's pretty cheap. Thankyou for all your comments. xx

  • can you tell me where i can downlad this song?

  • tats was beautifull song ever can you send this song for me is molly-ann.torsvik@hotmail(.)co­m

  • I hadn't heard this song for quite sometime. Yet, tonite while chatting with a dear friend, this song popped in my head. I quickly found it and am amazed at the many different videos out there of this beautiful song; especially when sung by the great Bette Midler. Thank you for sharing with us.

  • best song ever

    So sad though

  • Thank you everyone. Your comments have been amazing. celiacch has put lyrics to this video in english and chinese so please take a look. xxxx

  • This is one of the best inspiring songs ever..

  • one of my favorite songs!

  • I personally believe rather strongly in religious conviction but what I LOVE about this song is that it takes a message to everyone, it conveys a message: emotional, spiritual, MUSICAL! It's powerful, it's emotive and it's bloomin' sensational! Go Bette! x

  • I gotta sing this in Church,

    It's a good song, brilliant lyrics and the singer isn't bad

    the pictures are brilliant, especially the ones with the Soldiers and the Children

  • what's moving is the very last credit: thanking fate for your own blessings. "there but for fortune..." we all should do that.

  • I think it is of personal judgement if god exsists or not, I beleive in god, but that is my choice. However I do not think we should be discussing if god is real or not, this is a beautiful song, sang by the powerful fantasic voice of Bette Middler. Beautiful.

  • It is not for someone to prove a negative.

    You have to prove "god" exists. Atheists don't have to prove god doesn't exist.

    I don't have to prove unicorns don't exist, since there is no evidence that they do. Therefore, the don't exist. The burden of proof is on you.

    If god is alive and well, you must have empirical evidence of his existence? If not, you can't make such a claim and should be silent.

  • it sounds like NewAuthor is the one who is a "little angry" Im agnostic and i am taking my confirmation soon but I will not make such an arragont claim as to say that my belief is right and yours is wrong. I quite like the idea of no God because it would mean that we are kind and compassionate because we know it is the right thing to do not because God will punish us if we dont. but I still do not think there is no god though im a little doubtful, its nice to feel that someone is there for us.

  • @MichaelJamesMaidment

    i can prove tooth fairies do not exist, for once. Because it comes from imagination of mans, Christianity is not Imagination, it's truth, Tooth Fairy is a fiction , God is not, There will be no money if you put tooth below pillow.

    You're burden of proof also, to proof that Atheism is right, otherwise like a theory, of not-round earth is cannot be proven. Way to go escaping arguments.

    Life guided by 100% solid evidence is boring.........

  • I love this song! its makes me cry though because it was at my grandmas funeral when she passed away.

  • I try not to see stuff like this because we are all doomed to live on the same planet with evil people. I just try to enjoy my life and stay from a distance from evil people.

  • wow way to have a positive outlook on life and the earth

  • we alway's want a changing but we are mostedly afraid for what is cost of our movement if we are showing our condimening for what happen to our sorrounding the big quistion is how can we change this worldwide and growing povertyh

  • Watching this great work made me think of something. To take a small quote or two from Penn & Teller, countries like Australia and the U.S have the "luxury of turning down food", while kids in third-world countries try to FIND food. To be honest, I was sickened looking at those poor kids, seeing their bones stick out like that. May God watch over them and us, and pray for a ray of hope.

    As for the video, truly a professional work, and you ought to be proud. Thank you for sending the message.

  • A beautiful and moving video.

    "I just can't comprehend, what all this fighting is for."

  • Too much evil. People will never care and never learn. Goodness is an anomaly among mankind.

    For example, in South America, the majority of citizens frequently petition to their governments to round up and exterminate innocent street children. There is no hope for the world.

  • There is always hope as long as some people believe in goodness.

    Thankyou everyone for your comments. xxx

  • @Vedaseran There is always hope, as long as we don't give up on it. We must all do our part.

  • miss bett middler one of the best singer of u.s she really sings

  • I think so too; I've always admired the singers that really belt out the songs with a lot of power. Aretha, Bette, Leontyne, etc.

  • this is a beautiful song i love it and it makes me cry every time i listen it.

  • A very appropriate song for the times that we are living in.

  • why they ban you if it is the truth. i think there may be more to the story that what meets the eye.

  • Amazing video!!! U made everything go together perfectly. Personally I never really liked Bette Midler's voice. I know its her song but I think someone else should've sang this. Bette Midler's voice is too plain to me. Anyway I still love this song and video. 5/5

  • After IMAGINE of John Lennon and EL DERECHO DE VIVIR EN PAZ of Victor Hara, this is the 3rd great song of the Planet!

  • This song is so beautiful but this video is much more as beatiful its amazing kongratulaition!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i sung this at a wedding..... i was on the piano

  • Thankyou everyone for all of your support. xxxx

  • beautiful song beautiful video

  • beautiful video *****

  • kill robert mugabe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxx

  • "God is watching us"

  • God is watching us indeed, and He don't like the ACLU and their dirty deeds folks.

  • Really touch my heart

  • omgosh! that picture of those guys on the crane gave me the heebie jeebies! lol. great song and great video

  • God is always watching up $ he will always love us..romans 8:38-39

  • thanks for posting this...very wonderful song and the images are powerful. Let's not give up hope!

  • if there was god there was peace

  • Thank you so much everyone for your comments. xxx

  • darkfire22angel,

    That was beautiful and at the same time sad.

    Touching and at the same time Uplifting. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in.

    "I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for"

  • A song about Jesus pure Brilliance!!!! Two thumbs up!!!

  • About Jesus? Sorry. This is about how humans have forgatten who they are...

  • No they havent dont be silly, Like who dosent know who they are? LOL LOL

  • maybe he meant forgotten our purpose. we are to take care of God's creation not destroy them.

  • No he seems to rather clearly state "This is about how humans have forgatten who they are" Personally I think its about Jesus.

  • hello mankind & women. give a little love and it all comes back to you

  • Amazing voice!! I think it's the best song of Bette Midler!!

    Grazie darkfire22angel!!

  • Thanks for uploading! :)

  • From a distance there is harmony.

  • live as one peace on earth let love and be loved

  • This song is so true...I love it!

  • if we all do a little a lot will happen

  • Jesus said:

    And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.

    For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be FAMINES and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. -MARK 13: 7-8

    A FAMINE is a widespread shortage of food...

  • Thankyou all so much. xxKatxx

  • no thank you!!

  • love this vid...thanks for giving such a nice msg 2 the world :)

  • why all the killings let have peace on earth all a round the world let live as one

  • i love this song atm i am singing it with my school for a charity concert

  • i love this song...peace on the earth

  • peace on earth

  • Thankyou so much everyone for your comments. xxKatxx

  • I cried

  • i really love this song...keep it up nice work :D

  • Soon we won't have to worry about hunger, diseases, war, violence, for the Bible holds out the hope that this world is going to end. And in it's place God promises that the earth will be filled with peace.

  • Love another! Love yourself! If you believe a God -- love Him (or Her if you believe so) BUT LOVE -- And don't let anyone convince you that anything but love will save you or those you love. Love deeper!

  • Peace to all of you. Let next year be the year we all join in Unity - for Peace, For Justice, in Love.

  • I love this song and the message it carries.

    Let there be peace on Earth.

  • wunder schöner Song!!

  • Instead of "God is watching us." How about "The world is part of us, the world is one with us, our life is here and now, not at a distance." I think this message is more universal.Otherwise LOVE the song! Infact, I'm singing the song with the new lyrics, at a Buddhist meeting tommorow!! Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

  • I'm Asian/American, but that really don't matter, we are all humans, we should treat each other better, I believe that one of those days, in the future, we will become a better race and live in peace and harmony, it may be only a dream, maybe it will never happen, but we should all look in a positive way and do our best as not "American" or "European" but instead as the human race!

  • good choice of song! beautiful video, thank you for posting this, you made my day by reminding me what we all should do to make this world a better place

  • todays dreams are tomorrows future , and i agree

  • boah, great vid!!

  • Love the video... it shows how we all affect our world. And I think we should help our world now... before its 2 late

  • great work...loved it

  • Thankyou so much everyone for your messages. xxxx

  • Thank you so much for putting this most touching piece together, it is beautiful and you have enhanced the message of Bette Midler's song a thousand times over! Very Good job of bringing the song's message alive with these photos. Again THANK YOU!

  • Awesome job with taking a beautiful song and combining it with beautiful images. Thank you. Does anyone wonder what God is thinking when he is watching us.

  • That was beautiful! Thank you!!! :)

  • Why can't you all just stop all of the political comments, esp the Bush supporters, and give this person her due..Its a beautiful song..enjoy the moment.. Thank you for putting this on...Tom

  • You say F America but yet you listen to American music why critize the people you didn't even understand the song. I wouldn't of said nothing if you justed talked about bush but this song is talking about peace of all man no matter country nor race. How many races serve in the military I'm pretty sure someone of your heritage is serving to. Dont judge people based on there orgin. God Bless you we are all family in Gods eyes remember that.

  • Nice song and video...this is one of my favorite songs. Peace and love to all!!

  • great song! for mankind and only one earth!

  • I thought it was a really good video, and very fitting to the song. Good job!

  • I know you are only 15, but let me explain: "From a Distance" is a song of hope, of belief in mankind's ability to be better. Pictures of victims go against that idea, and do not fit in this video. I suppose they fit in your sister's "Images of War" if they belong anyplace. One more thing---John Kerry is seen by many Americans not as a hero, but as a traitor who should be imprisoned or shot. Including his picture was a mistake. But don't stop making videos, and good luck at school.

  • The pictures of the victims show what the world is like now and how terrible it is, the other pictures show how we need to make it better together, and the hope we have that it will get better. But including the picture of John Kerry was accidental. Thanks.

  • from a distance america is killing the world, from a distance america is poluting the world from a distance america is lieing on the world from a distance america is exploiting the riches of this world .... up close this world would be a better place without this evil country

  • It isn't america who is destroying the world, it is terrorists, and every single person in the world that pollutes even u.

  • Thank You

  • Not to start a discussion. But in Europe we're pretty sure that USA creates terrorists with their foreign politics.

    And talking about pollution: Bush turns down every try from the rest of the world to make politics that's better for the enwirement. Bush's attitude to the Koyto-agreement is a shame. His war is a shame.....

    -Don't take it personally. Nice work with the video :-)

  • it really makes me cry...

  • ciik!!

  • It won't look harmonious from a distance too much longer.

  • Great video, keep it up. Job well done. God Bless you. Lets turn this place called 'Earth' a better place for us to live. May God help us not to use the technology or terrorism to kill each other. All man are given a equal rights to live in this Planet Earth.

  • Thankyou to everyone for your comments. xxXXxx

  • i lovethis song i used to sing it at brownies when i was little lol

  • i needed that

  • Wow, just brilliant, grabs the heart.

  • Beautiful song. When this song was at its peak, my brother was fighting in the Persian Gulf War in 1991. This song reflects what mankind whould thinsg about. God is watching us and we will judged accordingly.

  • Beautiful pictures set up perfectly in synch with the words of the beautiful song! Excellent job!

  • Truth will set Africa Free. Natuarl, native African IQ = 70 (seventy).

    Well-known fact in academic writings.

    Do search in google for African IQ of 70 (seventy).

    Read "IQ and Wealth of Nations" book

    It's the Truth. All the the aid (money) in the world will Not help Africa.

    Only by raising IQ above 70 will africa develop.

    The poorest place on Earth is Africa. IQ =70. Root cause of poverty.

    Truth, the whole Truth. Truth will set Africa free. African IQ = 70
