A Nation Once Again - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
When boyhood's fire was in my blood[00:00:02]
I read of ancient freemen,[00:00:07]
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood,[00:00:11]
Three hundred men and three men;[00:00:16]
And then I prayed I yet might see[00:00:21]
Our fetters rent in twain,[00:00:26]
And Ireland, long a province, be.[00:00:30]
A Nation once again![00:00:35]
A Nation once again,[00:00:39]
A Nation once again,[00:00:44]
And lreland, long a province, be[00:00:49]
A Nation once again![00:00:53]
It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark[00:00:58]
And service high and holy,[00:01:03]
Would be profaned by feelings dark[00:01:08]
And passions vain or lowly;[00:01:12]
For, Freedom comes from God's right hand,[00:01:17]
And needs a Godly train;[00:01:22]
And righteous men must make our land[00:01:26]
A Nation once again![00:01:31]
A Nation once again![00:01:36]
A Nation once again![00:01:40]
And Ireland, long a province, be.[00:01:45]
A Nation once again![00:01:50]
So, as I grew from boy to man,[00:01:54]
I bent me to that bidding[00:01:59]
My spirit of each selfish plan[00:02:04]
And cruel passion ridding;[00:02:09]
For, thus I hoped some day to aid,[00:02:13]
Oh, can such hope be vain[00:02:18]
When my dear country shall be made[00:02:23]
A Nation once again![00:02:28]
A Nation once again![00:02:32]
A Nation once again![00:02:37]
And Ireland, long a province, be.[00:02:41]
A Nation once again![00:02:46]
