Wasn't That A Time — 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?
