Leann Womack said somewhere that "The thing about this song is it can be so many things to so many different people. Certainly, it can be everything a parent hopes for their child, but it also can be for a relationship that's ending as a fond wish for the other person's happiness. It can be for someone graduating from school or embarking on some new path...It fits almost every circumstance I can think of."
That's why when I hear the words I wanted you to not be discouraged in love just because your dad and I didn't stay together. I wanted you to have faith that all would be well and that you would trust people and continue to feel the excitement of what life could offer you and that you would find your real love. And, thank goodness you did. You got Nikki and aren't we all lucky!
"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder, May you get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger, May you never take one single breath forgranted, 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. Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking. Loving 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!" And, just in case you ever want to listen to the song, just click on and listen...
