This is not the Land of Canaan
No one promised you a thing
No hands risen to heaven
No praises left to sing

This is not the Land of Canaan
The milk and the honey are gone
The sum of all the things done right
And all of the things gone wrong

The pieces of myself I gave you
I never thought they'd be returned
And that nothing is forever
Is all we're supposed to learn

Its only sun and stone
Sea & sky
The sacred and profane
Standing eye to eye

As bright as the sun
As heavy as the stone
From the deepest sea
The sky seems so alone

The promises we make
The promises we don't
The things that we'll share
The things we know we won't
Sooner or later, it's all left behind
And it's only, a stitch in time
Just a stitch in time

Sun & stone
Sea & sky
Sacred & profane

Sun & stone
Sea & sky
Sacred & profane
