"I Hope You Dance" lyrics

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 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
Love might be a mistake but its worth making

Don't let some hellbent heart leave you bitter
If you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more that just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit down or dance

I hope you dance
Time is a wheel in constant motion
I hope you dance
Always rolling us around
I hope you dance
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
I hope you dance
And wonder where those years have gone

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closer 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
Time is a wheel in constant motion
I hope you dance
Always rolling us around
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
