Lord of the Dance

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.



Chorus: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 wouldn't follow me.

I danced for the fisherman

for James and John.

They came with me and the dance went

on.

I danced on the Sabbath

and I cured the lame.

The holy people they said it was a

shame.

They whipped and they stripped

and they hung me on high

and left me there on the cross to die.



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.



They cut me down and I leapt up high.

I am the life that'll never, never die.

I'll live in you if you live in me,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he.
