Washington's Day Songtext

Washington's Day Hooters 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
