�I hope you never lose your sense of wonderYou get your fill to eat but always keep that hungerMay you never take one single breath for grantedGod forbid love ever leave you empty handedI hope you still feel small when you stand beside the oceanWhenever one door closes I hope one more opensPromise me that you'll give faith a fighting chanceAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you never fear those mountains in the distanceNever settle for the path of least resistanceLiving might mean taking chances but they're worth takingLoving might be a mistake but it's worth makingDon't let some hell bent heart leave you bitterWhen you come close to selling out reconsiderGive the heavens above more than just a passing glanceAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you still feel small when you stand beside the oceanWhenever one door closes I hope one more opensPromise me that you'll give faith a fighting chanceAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or danceDanceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you danceI hope you danceTell me who wants to look back on their yearsAnd wonder where those years have gone© transcript Emily Beynon*
