the wolfe tones – a nation once again lyrics
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
it whisper’d too, that freedom’s ark
and service high and holy
would be profaned by feelings 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]
[verse 3]
so as i grew from boy to man
i bent me to that bidding
my spirit of each selfish plan
and cruel p-ssion ridding
for, thus i hoped some day to aid
oh, can such hope be vain
when my dear country shall be made
a nation once again
[chorus]
