I danced in the morning when the world was begun.

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be..

I danced for the scribes and the phar..isees.

But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me.
  G                         D         Em
I danced for fishermen, for James and John..

they came with me and the Dance went on.

[Verse 3]
 
G                             Em        G
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame.

The holy people thought it was a shame.
     G                              Em      G
They cut and they stripped and they hung me high..
         D                  C        G
and they left me there on a cross to die.

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black.

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back.
     G               Em      G
They buried my body, but I'd gone..
    D                    C        G
but I am the Dance and I still go on.

I'll live in you if you'll live in Me..

Dance, dance, wherever you may be..
Em                   D
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He.
         G                 Em           G
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be..

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
