1. I danced in the morning when the world was begun I danced in the moon, the stars and the sun I danced down from Heaven and I danced on Earth At Bethlehem I had my birth. Refrain: 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. 2. I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee They would not dance; they would not follow me So I danced for the fisherman, for James and John They came with me and the dance went on.

3. I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame They holy people said it was a shame So they whipped, they stripped, they hung me high And they left me on the cross to die. 4. I danced on a Friday, when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back Oh they buried my body, they thought I'd gone But I and the dance still go on. 5. They cut me down, but I lept on high I am the light that will never, never die But I'll live in you if you'll live in me I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
