Dance

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 never fear those mountains in the distance

 Never settle for the path of least resistance

Livin' might mean taking chances

But they're worth takin'

Lovin' might be a mistake

 But it's worth makin'

 Don't let some hellbent heart leave you bitter

 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.

(You never have been one to sit it out.)

 I love how you DANCE through life.
