A Nation Once Again-The Wolfe Tones

[ti:A Nation Once Again] [ar:The Wolfe Tones] [al:Let The People Sing] [offset:0] [00:00.20]A Nation Once Again - The Wolfe Tones [00:02.70]When boyhood's fire was in my blood [00:07.01]I read of ancient freemen, [00:11.89]For Greece and Rome who bravely stood, [00:16.60]Three hundred men and three men; [00:21.29]And then I prayed I yet might see [00:26.04]Our fetters rent in twain, [00:30.40]And Ireland, long a province, be. [00:35.39]A Nation once again! [00:39.70]A Nation once again, [00:44.48]A Nation once again, [00:49.26]And lreland, long a province, be [00:53.81]A Nation once again! [00:56.21] [00:58.74]It whisper'd too, that freedom's ark [01:03.57]And service high and holy, [01:08.28]Would be profaned by feelings dark [01:12.89]And passions vain or lowly; [01:16.87] [01:17.56]For, Freedom comes from God's right hand, [01:22.21]And needs a Godly train; [01:26.90]And righteous men must make our land [01:31.66]A Nation once again! [01:36.11]A Nation once again! [01:40.68]A Nation once again! [01:45.53]And Ireland, long a province, be. [01:50.23]A Nation once again! [01:54.84]So, as I grew from boy to man, [01:59.64]I bent me to that bidding [02:04.51]My spirit of each selfish plan [02:09.17]And cruel passion ridding; [02:13.79]For, thus I hoped some day to aid, [02:18.75]Oh, can such hope be vain [02:23.03]When my dear country shall be made [02:28.05]A Nation once again! [02:32.16]A Nation once again! [02:37.11]A Nation once again! [02:41.72]And Ireland, long a province, be. [02:46.57]A Nation once again! [02:50.59]
