"I Hope You Dance"

To My Beautiful Daughter...

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 faith 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
Livin' might mean takin' chances,

But they're worth takin'



When you come close to sellin' 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!                  

I hope you dance! 

 You dance with flair!

  You make it look fun!

 You give it all you've got!

You dance with grace!

You spice things up! 

 You make us proud!
