Lord Of The Dance


Melody: Based on Shaker tune arr. Sydney Carter     Lyrics: Sydney Carter


I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun.

And I came down from heaven and I danced in 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'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 Phar I see.

But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me.

I danced for the fishermen for James and John.

They came with mw and the dance went on.

Dance, then, 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 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 high.

And they left me there on a cross to die.

Dance, then, 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 on a Friday and 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.

Dance, then, 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.
