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 standing 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
And 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
When 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

I hope you dance, oh, oh (time is a wheel in constant motion)
I hope you dance (always rolling us along)
Moving us along
(Tell me, who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
Dance, oh yes
(Where those years have gone?)

I hope you still feel small standing by 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 (dance)

I hope you dance, oh (dance)
I hope you dance, oh (dance)
I hope you dance (dance)

I wanna tell you (time is a wheel in constant motion)
Oh, rolling us along (always rolling us along)
Moving us along
(Tell me, who, who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
Tell me, tell me, tell me who wants to look back and wonder 
(Where those years have gone?)
Where the years have gone?

Come on, time, time, don't let it, oh (time is a wheel in constant motion)
(Always rolling us along)
Where the years gone? 
I hope you dance 
(Tell me, who, who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone?)
Where the years have, where the years have gone?

Dance
Oh, oh
Don't let it slip away
Just dance
Reach out, touch
If you want it so much
To dance
Just dance
