Lord of the Dance Songtext

von The Irish Rovers

I 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

Ref: 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 pharisees
They would not dance and they would not follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They followed me and the dance wet on.

Ref: 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 on the Sabbath, I cured the lame
The holly people said, it was a shame
They wipped me, stripped me and hung me high
And left me there on a cross to die.

Ref: 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 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'g gone
But i'm the life and the dance wet on.

Ref: 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.

They took me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that never will die
And I live in you if you live in my
I am the Lord of the dance said he!
