| [00:09.08] |
When boyhood's fire was in my blood |
| [00:13.57] |
I read of ancient freemen |
| [00:18.06] |
Of Greece and Rome who bravely stood |
| [00:22.43] |
Three hundred men and three men |
| [00:26.86] |
And then I prayed I yet might see |
| [00:31.10] |
Our fetters rent in twain |
| [00:35.28] |
And Ireland long a province be |
| [00:39.71] |
A nation once again |
| [00:44.39] |
A nation once again, a nation once again |
| [00:52.13] |
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again |
| [01:00.31] |
|
| [01:00.99] |
And from that time through wildest woe |
| [01:04.80] |
That hope has shown a far light |
| [01:09.10] |
Nor could love's brightest summer glow |
| [01:13.22] |
Outshine that solemn starlight |
| [01:17.53] |
It seem to watch above my head |
| [01:21.40] |
Through foreign fields and fame |
| [01:25.39] |
It's angel voice sang 'round my bed |
| [01:29.76] |
A nation once again |
| [01:33.82] |
A nation once again, a nation once again |
| [01:41.99] |
And Ireland long a province be a nation once again |
| [01:50.54] |
So as I grew from boy to man |
| [01:54.34] |
I bent me to my bidding |
| [01:58.53] |
My spirit of each selfish plan |
| [02:02.58] |
And cruel passion ridding |
| [02:06.76] |
For thus I hope some day to wake |
| [02:10.82] |
Nor can such hope be vain |
| [02:14.81] |
When my dear country shall be made |
| [02:19.06] |
A nation once again |
| [02:23.05] |
A nation once again |
| [02:26.98] |
A nation once again |
| [02:31.10] |
And Ireland long a province be |
| [02:35.03] |
A nation once again |
