Line In The Sand

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 --- Line in the Sand - Lucy Kaplansky
