I Hope You Dance lyrics

(Lee Ann Womack)

Ciara:
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
And 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 the fighting chance
And if you get the chance to sit it out or dance

All:
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

Ciara:
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
And never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a pasing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

All:
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

Ciara:
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 the fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

All:
Dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance.
