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      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
