I Hope You Dance lyrics by Ronan Keating

I Hope You Dance - Ronan Keating

Intro

1. Strophe
I hope you'll never lose your sense of wonder,
get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger.
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leaves 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;

1. Refrain
I hope you dance, I hope you dance.

2. Strophe
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 help at heart leave you bitter,
if 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;

2. Refrain
I hope you dance, I hope you dance.
I hope you dance, I hope you dance.

Bridge:
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;

3. Refrain
Dance, I hope you dance.
I hope you dance, I hope you dance.

Coda
I hope you dance, I hope you're dancing.
And I hope you're dancing, and I pray you're dancing.
I hope you dance...
