Lady Karissa sings the song, " From A Distance " By Bette Midler 

From a distance the world looks blue and green

And the snowcapped 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 and woman

From a distance we all have enough

And no one is in need

And there are 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

Goddess is watching us, Goddess is watching us

Goddess is watching us from a distance

From a distance you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I just cannot 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 and woman

(Every man and woman)

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves

This is the song of every man and woman

And Goddess is watching us, Goddess is watching us

Goddess is watching us from a distance

Oh, Goddess is watching us, Goddess is watching

Goddess is watching us from a distance
