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 fate 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, 
Loving might be a mistake, 
But it's worth making. 
 

Don't let some 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 ... 
 

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance, 
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...
