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.
