Give us room to dance, a room to dance in.   Give us room to roar, a room to roar in.   Where our voice is heard, there the trees break   When we hear our feet, sing on a floorboard.      Give us room to dance, a room to dance in.   Give us room to roar, a room to roar in.   How our shoes have ached, our ox-hides groaning.   For the world to quake, with our foot pounding.      We will sing the sea, the sea to honey   We will pound the sea gravel to salt   We will fell the waves like stands of fir trees   Swinging songs like axes with our voices strong.
