Washington`s Day

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