Lord of the Dance
She danced on the water and the wind was her horn
The Lady laughed, and everything was born
And when she lit the sun, the light gave him birth
The Lord of the Dance first appeared on the earth.
Chorus:
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance," said he.
"I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me
And I’ll lead you all in the Dance," said he.
I dance in the circle when the flames leap up high
I dance in the fire and I 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 if you cut me down I care nothing for the pain
In the spring, I’m the Lord of the Dance once again.
[Chorus]
The Lord and the Lady cast a sound `cross the plain
The birds took the notes, and gave them back again
`Til the sound of her music was a song in the sky
And to that song there is only one reply:
[Chorus]
The moon in her phases, and the tides of the sea,
The movement of the earth, and the seasons that will be
Are the rhythm of the dancing, and a promise through the years
That the Dance goes on, through all our joys and tears.
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
"I am the Lord of the Dance," said he.
"I’ll live in you if you’ll live in me
And I’ll lead you all in the Dance," said he.
