Chorus: Dance, then, wherever you may be For 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 Pharisee, But they would not dance and they would not follow me; I danced for the fishermen, for James and John They came with me and the Dance went on.
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; The holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me on high And left me there on the cross to die

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
