A Nation Once Again

Thank you boys and girls
 We're gonna finish up
 And it remains with one song, I think
 And a song and a ballad written by Thomas Davis
 Thomas Davis wrote some of our finest national ballads
 This one certainly had to be one of his greatest
 Here's Tommy to sing, with you all I hope, "A Nation Once Again"
 When boyhood's fire was in my blood
 I read of ancient freemen
 For Greece and Rome who bravely stood
 Three hundred men and three men
 And then I prayed I yet might see
 Our fetters rent in twain
 And Ireland, long a province, be
 A Nation once again!
 A Nation once again
 A Nation once again
 And lreland, long a province, be
 A Nation once again!
 And, as I grew from boy to man
 I bent me to that bidding
 My spirit of each selfish plan
 With cruel passion ridding
 But yet I hoped some day to aid
 Oh, can such hope be vain?
 When my dear country will be made
 A Nation once again! (Everybody)
 A Nation once again
 A Nation once again
 And lreland, long a province, be
 A Nation once again! (Once more)
 A Nation once again
 A Nation once again
 And lreland, long a province, be
 A Nation once again!
