the dubliners - a nation once again lyrics
when boyhood’s fire was in my blood
i read of ancient freemen,
for greece and rome who bravely stood,
three hundred men and three men;
and then i prayed i yet might see
our fetters rent in twain,
and ireland. long a province, be
a nation once again!
[chorus:]
a nation once again,
a nation once again,
and ireland, long a province, be
a nation once again!
and from that time, through wildest woe,
that hope has shown a far light,
nor could love’s brightest summer glow
outshine that solemn starlight;
it seemed to watch above my head
in forum, field and fame,
its angel voice sang round my bed,
a nation once again.
[chorus]
it whisper’d too, that freedom’s ark,
and service high and holy,
would be profaned by feeling dark
and p-ssions vain or lowly;
for, freedom comes from god’s right hand,
and needs a godly train;
and righteous men must make our land
a nation once again!
[chorus]
