I Hope You Dance

[Verse 1]
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 chancе
And when you get the choicе
To sit it out or dance

[Chorus]
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

[Verse 2]
I hope you never fear
Those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path
Of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances
But they’re worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake
But it’s worth makin’
Don’t let some hell bent
Heart leave you bitter
When you come close
To sellin’ out reconsider
Give the heavens above more
Than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice
To sit it out or dance

[Chorus]
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance
