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
