Dubliners - Lord Of The Dance lyrics

rate me

I danced in the morning when the world was young<br />

I danced in the moon, and the stars, and the sun<br />

I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth<br />

At Bethlehem I had my birth<br />

<br />

Dance, then, wherever you may be<br />

I am the lord of the dance said he<br />

And I lead you all wherever you may be<br />

And I lead you all in the dance said he<br />

<br />

I danced for the Pharoah and the pharisees<br />

They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me<br />

I danced for the fishermen James and John<br />

They came with me so the dance went on<br />

<br />

Dance, then, wherever you may be<br />

I am the lord of the dance said he<br />

And I lead you all wherever you may be<br />

And I lead you all in the dance said he<br />

<br />

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame<br />

The holy people said it was a shame<br />

They ripped me and they stripped me and they hung me high<br />

Left me there on the cross to die<br />

<br />

Dance, then, wherever you may be<br />

I am the lord of the dance said he<br />

And I lead you all wherever you may be<br />

And I lead you all in the dance said he<br />

<br />

I danced on a Friday when the world turned black<br />

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back<br />

They buried my body; they thought I was gone<br />

But I am the dance, and the dance goes on<br />

<br />

Dance, then, wherever you may be<br />

I am the lord of the dance said he<br />

And I lead you all wherever you may be<br />

And I lead you all in the dance said he
