The Third Hoorah Lyrics

Hoorah!
WarChild, dance the days and nights away ---
sweet child, how do you do today?
When your back's to the wall,
and your luck is your all,
then side with whoever you may.
Seek that which within lies waiting to begin
the fight of your life that is everyday.
Dance with the WarChild --- Hoorah.
WarChild, dance the days and nights away ---
sweet child, how do you do today?
In the heart of your heart, there's the tiniest part
of an urge to live to the death ---
with a sword on your hip and a cry on your lips
to strike life in the inner child's breast.
Dance with the WarChild --- Hoorah.
WarChild, dance the days and nights away ---
sweet child, how do you do today?

It appears to me that this song is about how life can be stressful, but you've got to go out and live it to the fullest anyway, enjoy it, because it's too damn short to waste away. It's a celebration of life.

Cover art for The Third Hoorah lyrics by Jethro Tull

This song for me is about an incest survivor who grew up to be a woman warrior

When your backs to wall and your love is your all, then side with with whoever your may . . . . Seek that which within lies waiting to begin . . .The fight of life that is everyday
