Letra Lord of the dance Donovan

Lord of the dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun

I danced in the stars and the Moon and the Sun

I came down from Heaven and I danced on 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!

(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!)

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee

They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me

I danced for Peter and for James and John

They followed me 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!

(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!)

I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame

The holy people said it was a shame!

They whipped me and stripped me and hung me high

And 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!

(...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'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!

(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!)

They cut me down but I leap 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!

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!
