The Dubliners Lord of the Dance

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 scirbes and the pharasies
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fisherman 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 sabath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped they stripped they 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 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


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 dance that will never never die
I live in your if you live in me
I am the lord of the dance said he
