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
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
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
