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 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

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 beside 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
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)
