Verse 1
I danced in the morning when the world was begun, 
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun, 
And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth: 
At Bethlehem I had my birth. 
 
Chorus
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. 
 
Verse 2
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: 
 
Chorus
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. 
 
Verse 3
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame: 
The holy people said it was a shame. 
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me on high, 
And they left me there on a cross to die: 
 
Chorus
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. 
 
Verse 4
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: 
 
Chorus
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. 
 
Verse 5
They cut me down and I leapt up high; 
I am the life that'll never, never die. 
I'll live in you if you'll live in me: 
I am the Lord of the dance, said he. 
 
Chorus
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.
