I hope you dance.

I was reminded of this song as a result of a project I am doing and it reminded me of how much I love it. I already wrote the lyrics in Jaden's baby book and decieded to do the same for Sienna and Alec (and added pictures of them by the ocean)

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eatBut 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 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

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heartLeave you bitter

When you come close to selling outReconsider

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

Time is a wheel in constant motion always

Rolling us along

I hope you dance

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder

Where those years have gone

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 danceDance

I hope you dance
