I danced in the morning
When the world had begun
And I danced for the moon and the stars and the sun

I came down from heaven
And I danced on earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

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

[Refrain:]
Dance, then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
I'll lead you all wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

They cut me up
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

[Refrain x2]
