Virginia

There was a time A time of splendor and grace When the world moved by At a kinder pace There was a land A land to pleasure the eyes Where the old was new And the foolish wise I can hear Virginia When the south wind sings And I see her shining On a blackbird's silver wings And I can feel Virginia Runnin' through my soul When the flag unfurls And the drummers start their long, long roll Oh, sacred ground For which so many have died Let us take our turn For our country's pride Oh, blessed place Remember all of your sons Who will stand and fall 'Neath the ceaseless guns I can hear Virginia When the south wind sings And I see her shining On a blackbird's silver wings And I can feel Virginia Runnin' through my soul When the flag unfurls And the drummers start their long, long roll Will I ever see her rise again? Or are the old days gone? Has the world moved on? Will she ever grace our eyes again? Tell me when I can hear Virginia When the south wind sings And I see her shining On a blackbird's silver wings And I can feel Virginia Running through my soul When the flag unfurls And the drummers start their roll Oh, Virginia I can feel Virginia Running through my soul When the flag unfurls And the drummers start their long, long roll When the flag unfurls And the drummers start their long, long roll
