The Dubliners - Lord Of The Dance (Traditional Version)

Lord Of The Dance

I danced in the morning
When the world was young
I danced to the moon,
To the stars and the sun
I came down from Heaven
And I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, 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

I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee
If they would not dance;
They would not follow me
So I danced for the fisherman,
James and John
They came with me,
So the adnce went on

Dance, dance, wherever you may be...

I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame
They holy people said it was a shame
So they whipped, they stripped,
They hung me high
They left me there on the cross to die

Dance, dance, wherever you may be...

I danced on a Friday,
When the sky turned black
Its 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, dance, wherever you may be...

They cut me down, but I leapt on high
I am the light that will never, never die
But 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...
