"Drawing Lines in the Sand" is an obvious reference to the passage in the bible where Jesus ("crown of thorns at my side") stops an angry mob from stoning a woman by telling them that "He who is sinless may cast the first stone". He proceeded to bend down and began writing in the sand. It doesn't say what he wrote (two common interpretations was that he was listing the sins of those in the mob, or that he was citing the passage in the Torah that proved the woman innocent of her crime), but the theme there, and I believe here, is "Judge not, lest ye shall be judged yourself."
"Sometimes a view from sinless eyes
Centers our perspective
And pacifies our cries"
