I danced in the morning When the world had begun And I danced for the moon and the stars and the sun I came down from heaven And I danced on earth At Bethlehem I had my birth 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 [Refrain:] Dance, then, wherever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said he I'll lead you all wherever you may be And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he They cut me up And I leapt 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 [Refrain x2]
