The Dubliners - The Lord of the Dance lyrics

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 Bethlahem I had my birth Chorus: 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 I danced on the sabbath 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 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 They cut me down and they left up high I am the life that will never ever die I live in you if you live in me I am the Lord of the dance, said he
