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, dance, 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!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
I danced for the scribes and the phar..isees.
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for fishermen, for 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame.
The holy people thought it was a shame.
They cut and they stripped and they hung me high..
and they 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(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..
but 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
They cut me down but I leapt up high.
I am the Light that will never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(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'll lead you all, wherever you may be..
And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
(lead you all in the Dance, said He!)
