WASN’T THAT A TIME?

Our fathers bled at valley forge

The snow was red with blood

Their faith was warm at valley forge

Their faith was brotherhood

 

Wasn’t that a time

Wasn’t that a time

A time to try

The soul of men

Wasn’t that a terrible time

 

Brave men who fought at Gettysburg

Now lie in soldier’s graves

But there they stemmed the rebel tide

And there their fate was saved

 

The wars are long, the peace is frail

The madmen come again

There is no freedom in a land

Where fear and hate prevail

 

Isn’t this a time

Isn’t this a time

A time to try

The soul of men

Isn’t this a terrible time

 

Our fathers bled at valley forge

The snow was red with blood

Their faith was warm at valley forge

Their faith was brotherhood

 

Wasn’t that a time

Wasn’t that a time

A time to try

The soul of men

Wasn’t that a terrible time
