Bette Midler是当今仍活跃在美国影、视、歌以及戏剧舞台上的全能艺人之一。她演唱的FromADistance（来自远方）曾获1991年度格莱美奖的年度最佳单曲奖（Song of the year）。
这首From ADistance风行之际，正是“沙漠风暴”激战正酣之时，在伊拉克作战的美军，通过卫星听到BetteMidler的歌声时，都不禁激起思乡之情。
虽然这首歌的原唱不是她，但正是因为她在1990年演绎了这个版本，才使这首歌全球知名，从而登上年度排行榜首席。
Bette Midler（贝蒂·米德勒）广阔的音域将真情播洒天地人间，为我们带来和平的呼声。

and the snow-capped mountains white. 白雪覆盖山顶

From a distance, there is harmony, 在远方，聆听天籁
and it echoes through the land. 回响大地
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, 那是希望之音，那是和平之声
it's the voice of every man. 那是每个人的声音
From a distance we all have enough, 在远方，我们都很满足
and no one is in need. 人无欲求
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease, 没有枪，没有炮弹，没有疾病
no hungry mouths to feed. 没有嗷嗷待哺的嘴巴
From a distance we are instruments 在远方，我们是乐器
marching in a common band. 共鸣于同一乐队
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. 演奏那希望之音，演奏那和平之声
They're the songs of every man. 每个人的声音
God is watching us. God is watching us. 上帝在注视我们，上帝在注视我们
God is watching us from a distance. 上帝在远处注视着我们

even though we are at war. 尽管我们身处战争
