I danced on the moon and the stars and the sun
 I came down from Heaven and I danced on the earth
 At then Bethlehem I had my birth

 Chorus:
 Dance, then, wherever you may be
 For 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,
 But they would not dance and they would not follow me;
 I danced for the fishermen, for James and John
 They came with me and the Dance went on.

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

 I danced on a 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.

 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 live in me
 I am the Lord of the Dance said he
