Lord of the Dance

She danced on the waters and the wind was her horn
The Lady laughed and everything was born
And when She lit the sun and its light gave Him birth
The Lord of the Dance first appeared on the Earth

Chorus:
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
For I am the Lord of the Dance, you see!
I live in you, and you live in Me
And I 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 on a bright summer sea
For I am the Lord of the wave's mystery

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 nothing for the pain
In the Spring I'm the Lord of the Dance once again!

I dance at the Sabbat when you chant out the spell
I dance and sing that everyone be well
And when the dancing's over, do not think that I am gone
To live is to dance! So I dance on and on!

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 a Song in the sky
And to the Song there is only one reply:

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 for the dancing, and a promise through the years
That the Dance goes on through all our joy and tears

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 the Dancing is still going on!

I gaze on the Heavens and I gaze on the Earth
And I feel the pain of dying, and rebirth
And I lift my head in gladness, and in praise
Of the Dance of the Lord, and His Lady gay.
