| lyric | 1. 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 dances on the earth,
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Ref.: 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.
2. I danced for the scriba and the pharisee,
but they, would not dance,and they, wouldn't follow me.
| danced for the fishermen, for James and John,
they came with me ,and the, dance went on.
3. l danced on the Sabbath and lcured 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.
4. l 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 l'd gone.
But l'm the dance and l still go on.
5. They cut me down and I leap up high.
l am the life that will never, never die.
l'll live in you if you'll live in me:
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he. |
