I Hope You Dance

So today is Wednesday and Yesterday I met my Goddaughter to be for the first time. She’s gorgeous and has beautiful eyes. It was good to catch up with Kitten B – I’ve missed her so much – I haven’t seen her since before university and I knew I missed her but not properly until yesterday.

This song is quoted in the front of IzzyB’s baby book. Here are the Lyrics:

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 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
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 real and 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 youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
