I Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,

May you never take one single breath for granted,

God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,

whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,

Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

 

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

 

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance.

Living’ might mean taking’ chances but they’re worth taking,

Loving’ might be a mistake but its worth making.

Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out reconsider.

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

 

Dance – I hope you dance

I hope you dance

I hope you dance
