I danced in the morning when the world was begun
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
And I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth
In Bethlehem I had my birth
Dance, then, wherever you may be
For 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
I danced for the scribe and the pharisee
But they wouldn't dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on
Dance, then, wherever you may be
For 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
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They whipped, and they stripped, and they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the world on your back
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone
But I am the dance, and I still go on
Dance, then, wherever you may be
Dance, then, wherever you may be
Dance, then, wherever you may be
For I am the Lord of the dance, said He
For I am the Lord of the dance, said He
For 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 wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
They cut me down and I lept 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
Dance, then, wherever you may be
For 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, the dance, in the dance!
