I Hope You Dance

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 faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or 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

Rolling us along.
Tell me who
Wants to look back on their youth and wonder
Where those years have gone?

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
Dance.
