    I danced in the morning when the

    world was begun


    I danced in the Moon & the Stars &
    the Sun
    I came down from Heaven & I
    danced on the Earth
    At Bethlehem I had my birth...

    Dance then, wherever you


    may be
    I am the Lord of the Dance,
    I danced for the scribe & the
    Pharisee
    But they would not dance & they
    would not
    follow me,
    I danced for fishermen, for James
    & John
    They came with me & the Dance
    went on...

    Dance then, wherever you


    may be
    I danced on the Sabbath & I cured
    the lame
    The holy people said it was a
    shame!
    They whipped & they stripped &
    they hung
    me on high,
    And left me there on the cross to
    die...

    Dance then, wherever you


    may be
    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 & they
    thought I'd gone
    But I am the Dance & I still go
    on...

    Dance then, wherever you


    may be
    They cut me down and I leapt up
    high
    I am the Life that will never,
    never die!
    I'll live in you if you live in Me -
    I am the Lord of the Dance, said
    He!

    Dance then, wherever you


    may be
    I am the Lord of the Dance,
    nce then, wherever you may
    m the Lord of the Dance, said
    l lead you all, wherever you m
    l lead you all in the Dance, sa
