I Hope You Dance, which is based on the song sang by Lee Ann Womack
"I hope you still feel small
when you stand beside the ocean
If you're ever lying on a beach with
80 billion grains of sand beneath you,
700 thousand ocean waves before you,
60 million stars stretched out before you,
and you're still not at all impressed,
I want you to think about this:
The light you see reflecting from the stars is over
one million years old.
WOW.
But then, just before you start to feel like a mere blip
in the gigantic scheme of things, please remember this:
Yes, you are small, but you're also irreplaceable
and invaluable
and miraculous.
Those stars don't have anything on you."
"And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance
Let the music move you.
Let the moment take your hand.
Let it lead you out into
The middle of the dance floor and
Embrace you.
Dive off the high board,
Ride with the top down,
Thrive like a wildflower,
And sing
(Who cares what you sound like)
With a voice all your own."
"If you can figure out a way to keep the energy and gumption and fire alive, you'll always stay young.
And where there's youth, there's a hope...
where there's hope, there's wonder...
where there's wonder, there's faith...
where there's faith, there's chance...
where there's chance, there's love...
where there's love, there's music...
and dancing.
I hope you dance.
I really hope you dance."
