Lord of the Dance

Lyrics

I danced on the morning when the world began I danced in the moon and the stars and the Sun I came out of Heaven and I danced on the Earth In Bethlehem I had my birth Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I lead you all in the dance, said he I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me I danced for the fishermen James and John They came with me and the dance went on Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I lead you all in the dance, said he I danced on a Sabbath and I cured the lame The holy people thought it was a shame They cut me, they stripped me, and they hung me high And left me there on a cross to die Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I 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, but I'd gone... I am the dance and I still go on Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I lead you all in the dance, said he Well they cut me down but I lept up high I am the light that will never, never die I live in you and you live in me... I am the lord of the dance, said he Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I lead you all in the dance, said he Dance, dance, wherever you may be I am the lord of the dance, said he And I lead you all wherever you may be... And I lead you all in the dance, said he
