Room for All (3:18): From the preamble to an early constitution of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA): “Step by step the longest march can be won…and by union what we will can be accomplished still…Drops of water turn a mill, singly none.”

lyrics

Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all

There is room for the carpenter
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the janitor
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the teacher
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the preacher
In the union there is room for all

CHORUS:
Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all
Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all

There is room for our neighbor
In the union there is room for all
There room for all who labor
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the poor folk
In the union there is room for all
There is always room for more folk
In the union there is room for all

CHORUS

There is room for the thespian
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the lesbian
In the union there is room for all
There is room for the queer folk
In the union there is room for all
There is no room for fear, folks
In the union there is room for all

CHORUS

There is room for community
In the union there is room for all
There is room here for unity
In the union there is room for all
There is room to take a chance here
In the union there is room for all
There is room for romance here
In the union there is room for all

Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all
Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all

Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all
Room for all, room for all
In the union there is room for all
