LORD OF THE DANCE
 
When she danced on the water and the wind was her horn
The Lady laughed and everything was born
And when she lit the sun and the light gave him birth
The Lord of the Dance first appeared on the Earth
 
(Chorus)
So dance, dance wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance cried he
And I live in you if you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance said he
 
I dance in a circle when the flames leap up high
I dance in the fire and in never, ever die
I dance in the waves of the bright summer sea
For I am the Lord of the wave's mystery
(chorus)
 
I sleep in the kernel and I dance in the rain
I dance in the wind and through the waving grain
And when you cut me down I care naught for the pain
In the spring I'm the Lord of the Dance once again
(chorus)
 
The horn of the Lady cast its sound 'cross the plain
The birds took the notes and gave them back again
Till the sound of her music was the song in the sky
And to that song there's only one reply
(chorus)
 
The moon in her phases and the tides of the sea
The feel of the earth and the seasons that will be
Are the beat of the dance and a pledge through the years
That the dance goes on through our joys and tears
(chorus)
 


They danced in the darkness and they danced in the night
They danced on the earth and everything was light
They danced out the darkness and they danced in the dawn
And the day of that dancing still goes on
(chorus)
