Last night I was reading replies to my post when I caught myself with this hopeless attitude. Like things couldn't possibly get any better. This little song popped in my head and since then I can't stop thinking of it. Maybe this song will help some of you out there who need a little encouragement.....It sure has helped me see things differently for the moment. That's all I'm looking for is 1 peaceful day at the time.


"I Hope You 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 dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent 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....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder 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.

I love this song! Thanks for printing it. My daughter, who is a Senior is singing it at her graduation in May, along with 2 other girls.

2many - I really love that song - it's Leanne Rhimes (sp?) isn't it?

Thanks for posting it - I could hear her sweet voice as I read the lyrics.

Love and hugs.

Hi 2many2count,

I also love this song. I feel my HP often communicates with me through music. Whenever I hear this song, I take it as a reminder from God to enjoy life.
