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
