Lord Of The Dance / Simple Gifts
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I danced in the morning when the world had begun
And 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
Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he
Tis a gift to be simple tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift to come down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in a place just right
We'll be in the valley of love and delight
Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he
When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend we shant be ashamed
To turn to turn will be our delight
Till be turning we come round right
Dance then where ever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance" said he
"And I'll lead you all whever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he
I danced in the morning when the world had begun
And 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
