Thread Name: Lyr Req: SOURCE of Carter's Lord of Dance ly
Subject: SOURCE of Carter's Lord of Dance lyrics
Hello--I read a book about an ancient scroll found near where the Dead Sea scrolls were found, a few years later. In it appears a quote from a "book" (scroll) thought to be written by the brother of Jesus, named James. The quotation is a kind of poem wherein Jesus is standing within a circlew of his followers. He SINGS about a dance and how he cannot be contained but will dance on. I was stunned since that so resembles Sydney Carter's lyrics. Does ANYBODY know what Carter's source might have been, or know whom I might contact to find out? Please help.
