It Was There

It was there they grew to manhood

It was there they learned to fight

Where each day was so uncertain

And they learned to doubt the night

It was there that they were tempered

By the land of sudden sad

It was there they found the courage

That they never knew they had

It was there upon the anvil

Where the angry hammers pound

They were forged into the steel

That’s only made on hallowed ground
