\beginverse
|
|
I danced in the morning when the world was young,
|
|
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
|
|
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
|
|
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginchorus
|
|
Dance, dance, wherever you may be,
|
|
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
|
|
I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
|
|
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
|
|
\endchorus
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
I danced for the scribes and the pharisees,
|
|
They wouldn't dance and they wouldn't follow me.
|
|
I danced for the fishermen James and John.
|
|
They followed me and the dance went on.
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,
|
|
The Holy People said it was a shame.
|
|
They whipped me, stripped me, and hung me high
|
|
And left me there on the cross to die.
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
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, they thought I was gone
|
|
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on
|
|
\endverse
|
|
|
|
\beginverse
|
|
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'll live in me
|
|
I am the Lord of the dance, said he
|
