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


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 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
