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 you'll give fate 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
 Living might mean taking chances
 But they're worth taking
 Lovin' 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
 I hope you dance
 (Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
 I hope you dance
 (Rolling us along)
 I hope you dance
 (Tell me who)
 I hope you dance
 (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
 (Where those years have gone)

 I hope you still feel small
 When you stand by the ocean
 Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
 Promise me you'll give fate a fighting chance

 And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
 Dance
 I hope you dance
 I hope you dance
 (Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
 I hope you dance
 (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)

 (Tell me who)
 I hope you dance
 (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
 (Where those years have gone
