'I Hope You Dance'

With introductory verse by Rev.Bola

Step back,
Step forward,
Step sideways
Step into the beat

Twist, turn
Shake and twirl
Let the music
Make you whirl

Move with grace
Hot to the rhythmn
Cool with the music
Free of prison

Leap in that gentle
Rhythmic way
Sway like a dancer
Skip and pray

Jump, kick,
Tip-toe, tuck
Dance like a butterfly
Waddle like a duck

Take flight...dear angel
Cos now, you rock!

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 beside 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 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
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
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 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.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside 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 choice to sit it out or dance.
