|
I danced in the morning when the world was begun |
|
I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun |
|
I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth |
|
At Bethlehem I had my birth. |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
I danced for the scribe and the pharisee |
|
They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me |
|
So I danced for the fishermen James and John |
|
They come with me and the Dance went on: |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame |
|
The holy people, they said it was a shame! |
|
They whipped and stripped and then hung me high |
|
Left me there on a cross to die! |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black |
|
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back |
|
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone |
|
But I am the Dance and I still go on! |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
They cut me down but I leap up high |
|
I am the Life that will never never die! |
|
I live in you if you live in Me |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
|
Dance then, wherever you may be |
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! |
|
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be |
|
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He! |
