"I danced in the morning when the world was young
I danced on the moon, the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At bethlehem I had my birth"
Chorus:
"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 lead you all in the dance" said he
"I danced for the scribes and the pharisee
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen james and john
They followed me and the dance went on"
Chorus
"I danced on the sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They whipped me, stripped me, hung me high
They left me there on the cross to die"
Chorus
"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 alive and the dance goes on"
Chorus
"They cut me down, but I lept up high
I am the light that will never never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the lord of the dance" said he
