Lord of the Dance Lyrics & Tabs by Folkaholics
Lord of the Dance
guitar chords lyrics
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 the earth
at Bethlehem I had my birth
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
and I lead you all in the dance, said he
I danced for the Scribes and the Pharisees
they wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fisherman James and John
they came with me so the dance went on
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
and I 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 they stripped they hung me high
left me there on a cross to die
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
and I lead you all in the dance, said he
I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
it's hard to dance with the Devil on your back
they buried my body they thought I was gone
but I am the dance and the dance goes on
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
and I lead you all in the dance, said he
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you live in me
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
and I lead you all wherever you may be
and I lead you all in the dance, said he
