A Line Upon The Sand
when tyranny reared it's ugly head
to enslave a peaceful land
you heard a helpless nations call
to draw a line upon the sand
quickly shipped half way round the world
as part of a bigger plan
then thrust directly into harms way
from a line there in the sand
wary and watchful those first few day
ready and willing to make a stand
hoping for peace but prepared to fight
to hold your line there in the sand
finally when the peace talks failed
as only peace talks can
forward you moved speed and might
leaving behind your there line in the sand
in a few tense hours freedom restored
to a battered but thankful land
fury unleashed in a Desert Storm
from a line upon the sand
