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
leaves 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
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance
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
Dance....
I hope you dance
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance
And I hope you dance
I hope you're dancing
I hope you're dancing
And I pray
you're dancing
I hope you dance
