Where those years have gone
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
I hope you dance
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Dance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you dance
When you come close to selling out reconsider
(Dance)
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
I hope you dance
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
(Dance)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
(Rolling us along)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
May you never take one single breath for granted
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
