Wasn't That a Time

Our fathers bled at Valley Forge, the snow was red with blood

Their faith was worn 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 faith was saved

Wasn't that a time, wasn't that a time?

A time to try the soul of men,

Wasn't that a terrible time?

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 worn 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?
