the dubliners - lord of the dance 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
