I you never loose 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'll ever leave you emty-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



Chorus: I hope you dance, I hope you dance



I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path with least resistance

Livin' lively takin' chances, they're worth takin'

Loving might be a mistake but it's worth makin

Don't let some healthin' heart leave you bitter

When you come close to coming out reconsider

Give the heavens above more that just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance



Chorus



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
