Luke Kelly A Nation Once Again Lyrics
(Thomas Davis)
When boyhood's fire was in my blood, I read of ancient free men
Of Greece and Rome who bravely stood, three hundred men and free 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 shone a far light
Nor could love's brightest summer glow, outshine that solemn starlight
It seemed to watched above my head, through forum, field and fain
It's angel voice sang round me bed, a nation once again
Chorus:
A nation once again, a nation once again
And Ireland long a province be, a nation once again
So as I grew from boy to man, I bent thee to my bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan and cruel passion ridding
For thus I hope someday to aid, nor can such hope be vain
When my dear country shall be made, a nation once again
Chorus:
A nation once again, a nation once again
And Ireland long a province be, a nation once again
