What is it children that falls from the sky
Tayi taya tayi aye aye
Manna from heaven from the most high
Food from the father tayi taya aye
We shall live again we shall live again
We shall live again shake out the ghost dance

Give to your brother, give and take eat
Tayi taya dance little feet
One foot extended snake to the ground
One foot extended worm turn around
We shall live again we shall live again
We shall live again shake out the ghost dance

Stretch out your arms now dip and sway
Bird of thy birth tayi taya
The oe of the shoe the ou of the soul
Dust of the word that shakes from the tail
We shall live again we shall live again
We shall live again shake out the ghost dance

Here we are, Father your Holy Host
Blood of thy blood and ghost of thy ghost
We are the tears that fall from your eyes
Word of thy word and cry of thy cry
We shall live again we shall live again
We shall live again shake out the ghost dance
What is it Father
That snakes through the night
What is it Father
That moves toward the light
What is it Father
And tell me when
Father will we live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
We shall live again
Shake out the ghost
Shake out the ghost dance
Shake it out!
