When boyhoods fire was in my blood
CD7G
I read of ancient freemen
EmGC
For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
AmD7
Three hundred men and three men
D
And then I prayed I might yet see
CA7B7
Our fetters rent in twain
CCmD
And Ireland long a province be
GDGA nation once again
CChorus: A nation once again
AmD7A nation once again
GEmCD
And Ireland long a province be
GDGA nation once again
And from that time through wildest woe
That hope has shone a far light
Nor could loves brightest summer glow
Outshine that solemn starlight
It seemed to watch above my head
In forum , field and fane
Its angel voice sang round my bed
A nation once again
CHO:
It whisperd too that freedoms ark
And service high and holy
Would be profaned by feelings dark
And passions vain or lowly
For, freedom comes form Gods right hand
And needs a godly train
And righteous men must make our land
A nation once agian
CHO:
So, as I grew from boy to man
I bent me to that bidding
My spirit of each selfish plan
And cruel passion 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.
