I danced in the morning when the world was begun, And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun, And 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 all wherever you may be. And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he. I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee, But they would not dance and they would not follow me; I danced for the fishermen, for James and John; They came to me and the dance went on. refrain as above I danced on the sabbath when I cured the lame, The holy people said it was a shame; They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high; And they left me there on a cross to die. refrain I danced on a Friday and 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. refrain They cut me down and I lept up high, I am the life that'll never , never die; I'll live in you if you'll live in me; I am the Lord of the Dance, said he. refrain |
