I danced for the fishermen, for James and John -- they came with me and the Dance went on. [Refrain] 3 I danced on the Sabbath when I cured the lame, the holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, and they left me there on a Cross to die. [Refrain] 4 I danced on a Friday and 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. [Refrain] 5 They cut me down and I leapt up high -- I am the life that’ll never, never die. I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.
