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
Livin' might mean takin' chances
But they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth makin'
Don't let some
Hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close
To sellin' out reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance
And when you get the
Choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance... I hope you dance

Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on
Their years and wonder where those years have gone
Dance... I hope you dance
