A Nation Once Again - Paddy Reilly[00:00:00]

Written by：Paddy Reilly[00:00:04]

When boyhood's fire was in my blood[00:00:09]

I read of ancient freemen[00:00:14]

For greece and rome who bravely stood[00:00:19]

Three hundred men and three men[00:00:23]

And then I prayed I yet might see[00:00:28]

Our fetters rent in twain[00:00:33]

And Ireland long a province be[00:00:37]

A nation once again[00:00:42]

A nation once again[00:00:47]

A nation once again[00:00:51]

And Ireland long a province be[00:00:56]

A nation once again[00:01:00]

And from that time through wildest woe[00:01:05]

That hope has shone a far light[00:01:10]

Nor could love's brightest summer glow[00:01:15]

Outshine that solemn starlight[00:01:19]

It seemed to watch above my head[00:01:24]

In forum field and fane[00:01:28]

Its angel voice sang round my bed[00:01:33]

A nation once again[00:01:38]

A nation once again[00:01:42]

A nation once again[00:01:46]

And Ireland long a province be[00:01:51]

A nation once again[00:01:56]

It whisper'd too that freedom's ark[00:02:00]

And service high and holy[00:02:05]

Would be profaned by feelings dark[00:02:10]

And passions vain or lowly[00:02:15]

For freedom comes from God's right hand[00:02:19]

And needs a godly train[00:02:24]

And righteous men must make our land[00:02:28]

A nation once again[00:02:33]

A nation once again[00:02:37]

A nation once again[00:02:42]

And Ireland long a province be[00:02:46]

A nation once again[00:02:51]

So as I grew from boy to man[00:02:56]

I bent me to that bidding[00:03:01]

My spirit of each selfish plan[00:03:05]

And cruel passion ridding[00:03:10]

For thus I hoped some day to aid[00:03:15]

Oh can such hope be vain[00:03:19]

When my dear country shall be made[00:03:23]

A nation once again[00:03:28]

A nation once again[00:03:33]

A nation once again[00:03:37]

And Ireland long a province be[00:03:42]

A nation once again[00:03:46]
