“I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame;
The holy people
Said it was a shame.”
Sydney Carter (1915–2004) British musician and poet
Lord of the Dance (1963)
Context: I danced on the Sabbath
And I cured the lame;
The holy people
Said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
And they hung me on high,
And they left me there
On a Cross to die.
