Our fathers bled at Valley Forge,
the snow was red with blood
Their faith was warm at Valley Forge,
Their faith was brotherhood.
1st chorus
Wasn’t that a time, wasn’t that a time!
At time to try the soul of man!
Wasn’t that a terrible time!
Brave men who died at Gettysburg
Now lie in soldiers graves,
But there they stemmed the slavery tide,
And there the faith was saved.
The fascists came with chains and war,
To prison us in hate.
And many a good man fought and died .
To save the stricken faith.
How many times we’ve gone to kill
In freedoms holy name.
And children died to save the pride,
Of rulers without shame
2st chorus
Isn’t this a time!
Isn’t this a time!
A time to try the soul of man,
Isn’t this a terrible time
And now again the madmen come,
And should our vict’ry fail?
There is no vict’ry in a land
When free men go to jail.
Our faith cries out
We have no fear
We dare to reach our hand
To other neighbors far and near
To friends in every land.
3rd chorus
Isn’t this a time!
Isn’t this a time!
A time to free the soul of man,
Isn’t this a wonderful time!
repeat 3rd chorus
