Line In The Sand Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

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
