[ti:A Nation Once Again] [ar:Shamrog] [al:21 Irish Rebel Songs] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]A Nation Once Again - Shamrog [00:05.66]When boyhood's fire was in my blood [00:09.14]I read of ancient freemen [00:11.24] [00:12.80]For Greece and Rome who bravely stood [00:16.55]Three hundred men and three men; [00:20.16]And then I prayed I yet might see [00:23.94]Our fetters rent in twain [00:27.68]And Ireland long a province be [00:31.33]A Nation once again [00:34.84]A Nation once again [00:38.68]A Nation once again [00:42.30]And lreland long a province be [00:45.97]A Nation once again [00:49.66]And from that time through wildest woe [00:53.54]That hope has shone a far light [00:57.48]Nor could love's brightest summer glow [01:01.08]Outshine that solemn starlight; [01:04.63]It seemed to watch above my head [01:08.29]In forum field and fane [01:12.03]Its angel voice sang round my bed [01:15.75]A Nation once again [01:19.23]A Nation once again [01:22.96]A Nation once again [01:26.73]And lreland long a province be [01:30.40]A Nation once again [01:34.20]It whisper'd too that freedom's ark [01:37.88]And service high and holy [01:41.42]Would be profaned by feelings dark [01:45.21]And passions vain or lowly; [01:48.75]For Freedom comes from God's right hand [01:52.56]And needs a Godly train; [01:56.15]And righteous men must make our land [02:00.04]A Nation once again [02:03.70]A Nation once again [02:07.25]A Nation once again [02:10.96]And lreland long a province be [02:14.64]A Nation once again [02:18.35]A Nation once again [02:21.88]A Nation once again [02:25.49]And lreland long a province be [02:30.59]A Nation once again
