Years ago a line was drawn
Between the north and south
The civil war's alive and well
It's in your neighbor's house
Around the corner and the bend
The battle rages on
All the violence on the street
Begins in someone's home
It's not enough to tell your children
What's right or wrong
Light a path that they can follow
But carry them along (show them)

Chorus:
Walk to the edge of forgiveness
Take on more step
Have mercy on your brother
With no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules
And the voices sing
In the land where love is king

Years ago a line was drawn
Between the east and west
Across the oceans here at home
We face the human test
Like the forest and trees
We share a common earth
Imagine this the world at peace
guaranteed at birth
Different views and different faiths
Walk hand in hand
The world would be a better place
A single race (that understands)

Walk to the edge of forgiveness
Take one more step
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules
And the voices sing
In the land where love is king

Holy holy God on high
Make this a holy land
Where the people
Aren't afraid to try
The brotherhood of man

Walk to the edge of forgiveness
Take one more step
Have mercy on your brother with no regrets
Rise up where the heart rules
And the voices sing
In the land where love is king
