If you listen to the wind
you will hear the stroy
Of the days that passed me by
leaving me with heartach

If you watch the ocean waves
then you see reflections
of my once happy life
that is no more

If you hear a wolf howling
You know it crys my song
and only when my heart
begins to beat
will i be able to love again.

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.

Dance....I hope you 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)

Telling Layla's story spoken
bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases

Here she stands today
In her Brilliant Shining Way

Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life
Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life

All my complaints shrink to nothing,
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered...

Her she stands today
In her Brilliant Shining way

Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life
Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life


Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life
Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life


Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life
Fully alive,
More than most, ready to smile, and love life
