Lord of the Dance Full 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 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 scribes 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
