《A Nation Once Again》歌词

[00:00:00] A Nation Once Again - Paddy Reilly

[00:00:04] Written by：Paddy Reilly

[00:00:09] When boyhood's fire was in my blood

[00:00:14] I read of ancient freemen

[00:00:19] For greece and rome who bravely stood

[00:00:23] Three hundred men and three men

[00:00:28] And then I prayed I yet might see

[00:00:33] Our fetters rent in twain

[00:00:37] And Ireland long a province be

[00:00:42] A nation once again

[00:00:47] A nation once again

[00:00:51] A nation once again

[00:00:56] And Ireland long a province be

[00:01:00] A nation once again

[00:01:05] And from that time through wildest woe

[00:01:10] That hope has shone a far light

[00:01:15] Nor could love's brightest summer glow

[00:01:19] Outshine that solemn starlight

[00:01:24] It seemed to watch above my head

[00:01:28] In forum field and fane

[00:01:33] Its angel voice sang round my bed

[00:01:38] A nation once again

[00:01:42] A nation once again

[00:01:46] A nation once again

[00:01:51] And Ireland long a province be

[00:01:56] A nation once again

[00:02:00] It whisper'd too that freedom's ark

[00:02:05] And service high and holy

[00:02:10] Would be profaned by feelings dark

[00:02:15] And passions vain or lowly

[00:02:19] For freedom comes from God's right hand

[00:02:24] And needs a godly train

[00:02:28] And righteous men must make our land

[00:02:33] A nation once again

[00:02:37] A nation once again

[00:02:42] A nation once again

[00:02:46] And Ireland long a province be

[00:02:51] A nation once again

[00:02:56] So as I grew from boy to man

[00:03:01] I bent me to that bidding

[00:03:05] My spirit of each selfish plan

[00:03:10] And cruel passion ridding

[00:03:15] For thus I hoped some day to aid

[00:03:19] Oh can such hope be vain

[00:03:23] When my dear country shall be made

[00:03:28] A nation once again

[00:03:33] A nation once again

[00:03:37] A nation once again

[00:03:42] And Ireland long a province be

[00:03:46] A nation once again
