Song information

Artist: Peter, Paul & Mary
Album: A Song Will Rise

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?
