I danced in the morning, when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and they danced on earth
I badly had my, had my birth.
I danced for the scribe and the far out sea
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
So I danced for the fishermen James and John
came with me and the dance went on.
I danced on the sabbath and cure of the lenght
The holy people, they said it was a shame
They whipped and stripped and they hung me high
Left me there on a cross to die.
I danced on the friday, when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body they thought I got
But I ad the dance still go on.
They got me down, but I leap up high
I am the light, that will ever, never die
And I live in you, if you live in me
I am the lord of the dance, said he.
