lyrics

Our fathers bled at Valley Forge, the snow was red with blood
Their faith was worn at Valley Forge,
Their faith was brotherhood.

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?
A time to try the souls of men,
wasn't that a terrible time?

Informers took their Judas pay to tell the sorry tale
The gangs in congress had their way
And free souls went to jail.

How many times we've gone to kill
in freedom's holy name
And children died to save the pride
of rulers without shame.

Wasn't that a time?
A time to try the souls of men,
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
To friends in every land

Wasn't that a time?
A time to try the souls of men,
wasn't that a terrible time?

Isn't this a time?
A time to free the souls of men
Isn't this a wonderful time?
