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 handedI 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 danceI hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but theyre worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth makingDon'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 danceI hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on the years and wonder)

I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)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 danceDance
(Time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on the years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)I hope you dance
I hope your dancing
I hope your dancing
I pray your dancing
I hope you dance
