Hope you dance

I hope you 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 leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand upon 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 chance to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
never settle for the path of least resistance
livin might mean taking chances but they're worth taken
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 heaven's above more than just a passing chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance... I hope you Dance...
I hope you dance

River

just one of many songs that has deep meaning to me.

You know a dream is like a river
ever changin as it flows
and a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow
where it goes tryin to learn from what's behind you
never knowing what's in store makes each day a
constant battle just to stay between the shores

and I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try so I
will sail my vessel till the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
and let the waters slip away
till we put of till tomorrow it has now
become today so don't you sit upon the shoreline
and say your satisfied choose to chance the rapids
and dare to dance that tide

and I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try so I will
sail my vessel till the river runs dry

There's bound to be rough waters and I know I'll
take some falls with the good lord as my captian
I can make it through them all

And I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind these waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination if I never try
so I will sail my vessel till the river runs dry.
