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
