Enemy Mine?

I was thinking this morning about a movie that I had seen quite a while back. Enemy Mine. I never thought I would be so moved by a sci fi movie, but with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett, Jr., I guess you couldn't go wrong. Two soldiers from different planets crash land on a distant planet.

I guess the movie that I remember having made such an impact upon me goes along with the lyrics to the song I sing just about every time I sing Karaoke. It is a Bette Middler song.

From a distance
The world looks blue and green
And the snow capped 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
Its the voice of hope
Its the voice of peace
Its the voice of every man

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 are the songs of every man

God is watching us
God is watching us
God 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 its the hope of hopes
Its the love of loves
Its the heart of every man

God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance

God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance

And so I guess that is why I write about the consequences of war and why I choose to support the Fugee Family project.
