Line In The Sand

This news wont break my heart
Its already been blown apart
I feel like a helpless girl
In this tender troubled world

Another bomb lights up the night
For someones vision of paradise
But its just a wasted sacrifice
That fuels the hate on the other side

All in the name of a holy land
All to claim a line in the sand

Oh, but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand
Yeah but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand

Just like at Calvary
Soldiers do the bidding of their king
And dreams are lost one at a time
Blown across both sides of the line

You cant kill a giant with just one stone
You cant erase the story of a familys home
A hate-filled heart still beats alone
Walking on that endless road

And theres so much blood on all our hands
It cuts an even deeper line in the sand

Oh, but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand
Yeah but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand

I hope a forgiving rain will fall sometime
And wash away that line

Oh, but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand
Yeah but the promised land
Is just across another line in the sand
