I danced on the morning, when the world was begun,
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
Came down from heaven and I danced on earth,
and Bethlehem, I had my birth.

Dance, then where every 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 on the Sunday in I cured the lame,
The Holy people thought it was a shame,
They whipped and stripped and hung me high
And 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he.

I danced on the 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.

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.

In the danced hay

They cut me down and I leaped up high
I am the light that will never, never die,
I'll live in you, if you live in me,
I am the lord of the dance said he.

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. X4

In dance said he, in the dance said he.
