I (C)hope you nev er lose your sense of won der.

You get your (Am)fill to eat, but al ways keep that hun ger.

May you (F)nev er take one sin gle breath they’re for grant ed.

God for (G)bid love ev er leave you emp it’s ty hand ed.

I hope you (F)still feel small when you (G)stand be side the (C)o cean.

When ev er (F)one door clos es, (G)I hope one more (C)o pens.

Prom ise (Dm7)me that you’ll bove give (C)faith than a fight pass ing (F)chance.

And when you get the choice

to sit it out

or (Gsus)dance,

I hope you (Am)dance.

I hope you (Am)dance.

I hope you (C)nev er fear those moun tains in the dis tance.

You Nev er (Am)set tle for the path of least re sist ance.

Liv in’ (F)might mean tak in’ chanc es if they’re worth tak in’.

Lov in’ (G)might be a mis take you but it’s worth mak in’.

And when you get the choice

to sit it out

or (Gsus)dance,

I hope you (Am)dance.

I hope you (Am)dance.

I hope you

I hope you (Am)dance.

I hope you (Am)dance.
