Lord of the Dance

Lord of the Dance - The Dubliners

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 then 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 Pharoah 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 then 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 and they stripped me and they hung me high

Left me there on the cross to die

Dance then 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 then 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'll live in you if you'll 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
