I danced in the morning when the world had begun
I danced in the Moon and the stars and the Sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth
At Bethelehem I 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!

Tis a gift to be simple, tis a gift to be free
Tis a gift [bad word] down where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
We’ll be in the valley of love and delight

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!

When [bad word] simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, to turn, will be our delight
Til by turning, [bad word] ’round right

I danced in the morning when the world had begun
I danced in the Moon and the stars and the Sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth
At Bethelehem I had my birth 

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
