Lyrics

[Verse 1] Our fathers bled at Valley Forge The snow was red with blood Their faith was worn at Valley Forge Their faith was brotherhood [Chorus] Wasn't that a time? (Wasn't that a time?) Wasn't that a time? A time to try the soul of man Wasn't that a terrible time? [Verse 2] Brave men who fought at Gettysburg Now lie in soldier's graves But there they stemmed the rebel tide And there the faith was saved [Chorus] Wasn't that a time? (Wasn't that a time?) Wasn't that a time? A time to try thе soul of man Wasn't that a terrible time? [Verse 3] Informеrs took their Judas pay To tell their sorry tale The gangs in Congress had their way And free souls went to jail [Chorus] Wasn't that a time? (Wasn't that a time?) Wasn't that a time? A time to try the soul of man Wasn't that a terrible time? [Verse 4] How many times we've gone to kill In freedom's holy name And children died to save the pride Of rulers without shame [Chorus] Wasn't that a time? (Wasn't that a time?) Wasn't that a time? A time to try the soul of man Wasn't that a terrible time? [Verse 5] Our faith cries out, "We have no fear" We dare to reach our hand To all our neighbors far and near To friends in every land [Chorus] Isn't this a time? (Isn't this a time?) Isn't this a time? A time to free the soul of man Isn't this a wonderful time? Isn't this a wonderful time?
