Chorus:	
Dance, dance, 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
They wouldn't dance, and they wouldn't follow Me
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John
They danced with Me, and the dance goes on"

Chorus:

  "I danced on the Sabbath, and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
The stripped Me, whipped Me, and hung Me high
And left Me here on the cross to die"

Chorus

"I danced on a Friday, and the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back
They took me down, and they thought I'd done
But I am the Life, and the dance goes on"

Chorus

"They took Me down and I lept up high
I am the Life that will never never die
I live in you if you live in Me
I am the Life of the dance," said He
