~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 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'LL NEVER FEAR THOSE MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE,
NEVER SETTLE FOR THE PATH 
OF LEAST RESISTANCE,
LIVIN MIGHT MEAN TAKIN CHANCES 
BUT THEIR WORTH TAKIN,
LOVIN MIGHT BE A MISTAKE 
BUT IT'S WORTH MAKIN,

DON'T LET SOME HEART LEAVE YOU BITTER,
WHEN YOU COME CLOSE TO SELLIN OUT , RECONSIDER,
 GIVE THE HEAVENS ABOVE 
MORE THEN 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 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 ...
