I hope you never lose your sense of wonder<br />
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger<br />
May you never take one single breath for granted<br />
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed<br />
<br />
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean<br />
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens<br />
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance<br />
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance<br />
<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Dance)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Dance)<br />
<br />
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance<br />
Never settle for the path of least resistance<br />
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking<br />
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making<br />
<br />
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter<br />
When you come close to selling out reconsider<br />
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance<br />
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance<br />
<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Time is a wheel in constant motion always)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Rolling us along)<br />
<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Tell me who)<br />
  (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Where those years have gone)<br />
<br />
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean<br />
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens<br />
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance<br />
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance<br />
<br />
Dance<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Dance)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Time is a wheel in constant motion always)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Rolling us along)<br />
<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Tell me who)<br />
  (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)<br />
I hope you dance<br />
  (Where those years have gone)<br />
<br />
Tell me who<br />
Wants to look back on their youth and wonder<br />
Where those years have gone
