Washington's Day Lyrics
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
The night by the Arlington flame
In the silence I heard it
Through streets so deserted
You whispered and called me by name
That powerful look in your eye
Where Lincoln stood strong there
You held me so long there that night
On the fourth of July
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
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
And their monuments put on display
Tell the hungry and stranded
The poor empty handed
We'll meet them on Washington's day
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
The night by the Arlington flame
Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years
You whispered and called me by name
At the end of the day
You know I'll always remember
You who were tender to me
On Washington's day
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

This song, especially in light of the current "administration", calls us to remember the true meaning of the sacred places in and around Washington DC; "Arlington's flame", "where Lincoln stood strong", these places will need to be reclaimed and reanimated for the good of all Americans.
@Freeguy54 Youre right the current Biden administration is a mockery to the founders of our country. His supporters wouldn’t mind “cancelling” all of our founders and ruining this country. I agree!

@Freeguy54 You\'re an idiot. There\'s mountains of evidence that Trump tried to overturn the election results. You\'re too stupid to vote. Go sit down.
