|
Did you think |
|
I could ever forget |
|
The night by the arlington flame |
|
In the silence |
|
I heard it |
|
Through streets so deserted |
|
You whispered and called me by name |
|
Did you think |
|
I could ever forget |
|
That powerful look in your eye |
|
Where Lincoln stood strong there |
|
You held me so long there that night |
|
On the fourth of |
|
July I hope and |
|
I pray that you'll be here with me |
|
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea |
|
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way |
|
Hope you'll be here with me |
|
Home on Washington's day |
|
Now when this world and that world collide |
|
And the powers that be hit you low |
|
When you're feeling so small in the face of it all |
|
And you're lost on eternity row |
|
When the wars that men wage are all through |
|
And their monuments put on display |
|
Tell the hungry and stranded |
|
The poor empty handed |
|
We'll meet them on |
|
Washington's day |
|
I hope and |
|
I pray that you'll be here with me |
|
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea |
|
And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way |
|
Hope you'll be here with me |
|
Home on Washington's day |
|
Did you think |
|
I could ever forget |
|
The night by the arlington flame |
|
Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years |
|
You whispered and called me by name |
|
And when the sun goes down |
|
At the end of the day |
|
You know I'll always remember |
|
You who were tender to me |
|
On Washington's day |
|
I hope and |
|
I pray that you'll be here with me |
|
When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea |
|
And the visions that come are the visions that stay |
|
Hope you'll be here with me |
|
Home on Washington's day |
