The Weavers - Wasn't That A Time lyrics

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?
