Line in the Sand Lyrics
This news won't break my heart
It's already been blown apart
I feel like a helpless girl
In this tender troubled world
Another bomb lights up the night
For someone's vision of paradise
But it's 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
Chorus:
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 can't kill a giant with just one stone
You can't erase the story of a family's home
A hate-filled heart still beats alone
Walking wounded on that endless road
And there's so much blood on all our hands
It cuts an even deeper line in the sand
Chorus
I hope a forgiving rain will fall sometime
And wash away that line
Chorus
It's already been blown apart
I feel like a helpless girl
In this tender troubled world
For someone's vision of paradise
But it's just a wasted sacrifice
That fuels the hate on the other side
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
Soldiers do the bidding of their king
And dreams are lost one at a time
Blown across both sides of the line
You can't erase the story of a family's home
A hate-filled heart still beats alone
Walking wounded on that endless road
It cuts an even deeper line in the sand
And wash away that line
