''(A song by [[Sydney Carter]])''
----
 
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
 
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
 
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
 
At Bethlehem I had 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
 
 
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee
 
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
 
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John
 
They came with 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
 
 
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 high
 
And they left me there on the 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
 
 
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
 
 
They cut me down and I leap up high
 
I am the life that'll never, never die
 
I'll live in you, if you 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
