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

About Me
- Rush
- I realized early on that depth of feeling appeals more than sesquipedalian loquaciousness. Turns out, Phil Collins agrees. To quote him "...it's actually the simplest thing that reaches people". I started with fictional comic pieces on people I knew, and slowly branched out into short stories, reviews, travelogues, random musings and poetry. Hopefully my writing keeps evolving and gets better. Do feel free to share your comments. Thank you for reading. I have added tons of links to charities, blogs and other interesting must-reads. I hope you enjoy them!

There's a lot of history behind this song.
I used to hear it all the time in my car when my friends were all into hip-hop and rap and used to think listening to a cross-over country artist was gay :)
hehe too bad abt taht!
hip hop, i like, i have been learnin d dance style most of last year..rap.. not really :)
country music.. i really do like!!
I learnt to love country music from my Mom. Don Williams, Kenny Rogers, man.
Though I understand people's point. There has been a lot of country music over the last couple of decades that has been fairly popular (particularly in places like Alabama, Florida, Texas) which does seem to talk about nothing else than a guy's truck, his wife cheating on him and how his dog died.
This song breached all genre barriers though. Its spectacular.
