Lord of the Dance - The Dubliners 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 Pharoah 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 They cut me down and I leapt up high I am the life that will never never die 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 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
