Public Enemy #1

The moon in its phases and the tides of the sun
The movements of the earth and the seasons that will be
Are the rhythm of the dancing and the promise through the years
The dance goes on through the joy and the tears

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

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

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

I gaze on the heavens and I gaze on the earth
And I felt the pain of dying and rebirth
And I lift my head in gladness and in praise of the day
For the dance of the lord and the lady gay

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

I see the maidens laughing as they dance in the sun
And we count the fruits of the harvest one by one
We know the storm is coming but the grain is all stored
We sing to the praise of the lady and the lord

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

We dance ever slower as the leaves fall and spin
And the sound of her horn is the wailing of the wind
The call of the hunter as he rides across the plain
While the lady sleeps till the spring comes again

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he ]

The sun is in the southlands and the winds they will chill
And the sound of the horn is fading on the hill
The herd stands in stillness as we move in a trance
But we hold on fast to our faith in the dance
Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he

The sun's in the southlands and the days lengthen fast
But soon we will sing for the winter that is past
But now light the candles and rejoice as they burn
We dance the dance of the sun's return

Dance, dance wherever you may be
For I am the lord of the dance, said he
I'll live in you if will you live in me
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he
