Donovan - Lord of the Dance lyrics

I danced in the morning when the world was begun I danced in the Moon and the stars and the Sun I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth At Bethelehem I had my birth: 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! (...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) I danced for the scribe and the pharisee But they would not 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 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! (...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame The holy people said it was a shame! They whipped me and stripped me and hung me high And left me there on a cross to die! 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! (...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the devil 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 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! (...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) They cut me down but I leap 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 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!
