Lord of the Dance Lyrics

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced for the Moon & the Stars & the Sun
I came off the Heaven & 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 on the Sunday & I cured the lame
The holy people thought it was a shame!
They cutted me, they whipped me & they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die!
I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body but I'd gone 'cause
I am the light & I still go on!

I am the light & I leap up high,
I am the light 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!
/*I danced for the scribe & the pharisee
But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me
I danced for fishermen, for James & John
They came with me & the Dance went on:
They cut me down and I leapt up high */
