Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 3]

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
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

/ G - - - / Em - - - / C - - - / D - - - /

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

/ C D G - / / C - - - / - - D - /

I hope you dance
I hope you dance

/ Em C G D / Em C D - /

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
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 passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

{Refrain}
I hope you dance
   Time is a wheel in constant motion
I hope you dance
   Always rolling us along
I hope you dance
   Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder
I hope you dance
   Where those years have gone

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

{Refrain}
