We all have an unknown amount of time to live our lives, and during that time we will have the opportunity to do many things like take chances, enjoy moments, fall down, get hurt, get back up, learn, and best of all….dance. The first time I heard the lyrics to the song below I fell in love with them because their message was so powerful. And as a mother who raised kids it reflects the exact message you want your kids to grow up hearing: that life is amazing, that love is worth it, that God is there, believe, and when life gives you an opportunity to sit it out or dance you should dance.<\/p>\n
Hope you enjoy reading the lyrics. If you don’t already have the song downloaded on your playlist I highly recommend getting it and listening to it once in awhile to remind yourself of how to live your life. \u00a0Great message:<\/p>\n
I Hope You Dance (Lee Ann Womack)<\/strong><\/span> I hope you dance….I hope you dance.<\/span><\/p>\n I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, I hope you dance….I hope you dance. I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean, Dance….I hope you dance. Have an amazing day everyone…don’t forget to DANCE!

\nI hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
\nYou get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
\nMay you never take one single breath for granted,
\nGOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
\nI hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
\nWhenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
\nPromise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
\nAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nNever settle for the path of least resistance
\nLivin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
\nLovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
\nDon’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
\nWhen you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
\nGive the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
\nAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI hope you dance….I hope you dance.
\n(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
\nTell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
\nPromise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
\nAnd when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI hope you dance….I hope you dance.
\nI hope you dance….I hope you dance..
\n(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
\nTell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)<\/span><\/p>\n
