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.
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 fishermen, 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 they 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'll live in me.
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
