and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
I came down from Heaven and I danced on the 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 on wherever you may be,
I will lead you all in the dance said he.
I sleep on the kernel and I dance in the rain,
I dance in the wind and through the waving grain,
and when you cut me down I care nothing for the pain,
In Spring I'll be the Lord of the Dance again!
Dance then wherever you may be!
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
and I'll lead you on wherever you may be,
I will lead you all in the dance said he.
I danced for the Scribe and the Phariasee
they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me,
I danced for Peter and for James and John,
they followed 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 on wherever you may be,
I will lead you all in the dance said he.
I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame,
the holy people said it was a shame,
they whipped me and stripped me and hung me high,
and 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 on wherever you may be,
I will lead you on in the dance said he.
I danced on 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 on wherever you may be,
I will lead you on in the dance said he.
They cut me down but I leap up high,
I am the life that will never never die,
I'll live in you and you'll live in me,
I am the Lord of the Dance said he.
Dance then wherever you may be!
I am the Lord of the Dance said he,
and I'll lead you on wherever you may be,
I will lead you all in the dance said he.
