The Lord of the Dance Songtext
von The Dubliners

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 Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance 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 for the scribe and the Pharisee
They would not dance; they would not follow me
So I danced for the fisherman, for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on

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

I danced on a Friday, when the sky turned black
Its hard to dance with the Devil on your back
Oh they buried my body and they thought I′d gone
But I am the lord and the dance went on


They cut me down, but I leapt on high
I am the light that never will die
But I'll live in you if you'll live in Me
I am The Lord Of The Dance, said he
