"A Nation Once Again" is a song, written in the early to mid-1840s by Thomas Osborne Davis (1814-1845). Davis was a founder of an Irish movement whose aim was the independence of Ireland.

The song is a prime example of the "Irish rebel music" sub-genre. The song's narrator dreams of a time when Ireland will be, as the title suggests, a free land, with "our fetters rent in twain."

The lyrics exhort Irishmen to stand up and fight for their land: "And righteous men must make our land a nation once again."

It has been recorded by many Irish singers and groups. Here is a few of my favourite versions of the song.
