I Hope You Dance Lyrics

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 by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one
more opens
Promise me you'll give fate 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
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's
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
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I
hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I
hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where
those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by
the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me
you'll give fate 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 real
and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope
you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and
wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me
who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and
wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
