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
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"And I lead you all wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance," said he
I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me, so the dance went on
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"And I lead you all wherever you may be
And I 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 ripped me, stripped me, hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"And I lead you all wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance," said he

I danced on the 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
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"And I lead you all wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance," said he
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I live in you if you live in me
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he
"And I lead you all wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance," said he
