Dsus2 I hope you never lose your sense of wonder Bm You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger G May you never take one single breath for granted A God forbid love ever leave you empty handed G A I hope you still feel small when you stand Dsus2 beside the ocean G A Dsus2 Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Em D G Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance A And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Chorus: Bm G D A I hope you dance Bm G A 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 If 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 Chorus: I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years) I hope you dance (And wonder where those years have gone.) G A I hope you still feel small when you Dsus2 stand beside the ocean G A Dsus2 Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Em Dsus2 G Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance A And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Chorus: Dance, I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years) I hope you dance (And wonder where those years have gone.)
