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
