I Hope You Dance

Music has always been a point of inspiration for me. There is refuge in lyrics that are written from the heart. The right song can fill you with joy; causing you to laugh, sing or in the best cases make you wanna dance. One such song is by country singer Lee Ann Womack entitled "I Hope You Dance". Not the usual soulful sounds of R&B or Gospel but a Soul Filled song none the less. You have to listen to the lyrics. They speak so genuinely about life and living. It's about making the choice to live life instead of sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else live.

I Hope You Dance

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

When you stand 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

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances

But they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake

But it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart

Leave you bitter

When you come close to selling 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

                                    I HOPE YOU
                                 DANCE

So many times in life we choose to be wallflowers...sitting around watching everyone else enjoying the party, enjoying life. Oh God I thank you for this opportunity to dance and when my spirits are low and dancing seems like that last thing I should do; I hope I find the music to dance even harder.

Dancing is Living...Living out Loud without fear. Being unafraid to kick off your shoes, let your hair down and throw caution to the wind. Dancing is traveling and seeing the world, experiencing life and all its glory. Dancing is laughing and loving. Dancing is embracing yourself and celebrating YOU! Oh how I Hope You Dance. Here's to finding your own music and dancing to the beat of your own drum. This year I Hope We All Choose to Dance.
