Music: I Hope You Dance
May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that
are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones,
a nd allow your soul the freedom to sing,
dance, and to bask in the sun.
It is there for each and every one of you.
May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that
are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received,
and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones,
a nd allow your soul the freedom to sing,
dance, and to bask in the sun.
It is there for each and every one of you.

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
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
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling you 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
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
