Nov. 5th, 2008 05:44 amOur 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 man
Wasn't that a terrible time?
Brave men who fought at Gettysburg
Now lie in soldiers' graves
But there they stemmed the rebel tide
And there the faith was saved.
Wasn't that a time
Wasn't that a time
A time to try the soul of man
Wasn't that a terrible time?
Our faith cries out. We have no fear!
We dare to reach our hands
To all our neighbors far and near,
To friends in every land.
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?
--Lee Hays and William Lowenfels
