Wasn't That A Time Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

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?
