The Lady laughed and everything was born.
She lit the sun and the light gave him birth
And the Lord of the dance then appeared on the earth.
Chorus: Dance, dance, 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 in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I was called from the darkness by the song of the earth
And I joined in the singing and she gave me birth.
Chorus
I dance in the Sabbath when you chant the spell
I dance and sing, that everyone be well
When your dance is over, do not think that I am gone
I live in the music and I still dance on.
Chorus
Well, they cut me down, but I leap up high
I'm the light that will never ever die
I live in you if you live in me
For I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
Chorus
