A Line Being Drawn In the Sand

A Line Is Being Drawn In The Sand Through the mockery of sin where do I begin A tug at the heart should light the spark to what I'm waiting for Jesus drew a line in the sand to protect Mary from tragedy A whole host of poetic warriors fight for their right in the night The traveler's on a flight to rome far from home Many heads out in the street far fetched riots sort of circus freek Shattered glass on the cement floor lest I emplore for more Power to the people wearing eyes of tombstone in their heads A face full of lead parting places in search of traces Why is their a new barbie wearing a bright knitted sweater No matter what your mood may be don't blame it on the weather We treasured a single red rose that was picked a time ago Choose to become a beacon of hope in a hurting world in need While the outside world wearing long hanging fangs that bleed Marked on a blotted page yet still clearly intact Billy Joel was right from working today can give you a heart attack A line being drawn in the sand when will we understand Heads filled with dreams just to fulfill their evil schemes A cold clap in the dark has now been brought to the light Never relent in the race of life to ever give up on the fight The field is ready for it's harvest time sound the alarm
