Lyrics:

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.)

That’s our sweet David with his beautiful daughter who has a beautiful voice.💕

[elizabethhagin]

I absolutely love Callie’s voice on this arrangement. Family harmonics are so beautiful . David you and your family are such a blessing.

[Bweezy]

Mr. Phelps will ALWAYS be my favorite male vocalist EVER.

[cindydewitt]

Love hearing Callie sing a solo with her Dad. Both girls have such beautiful voices. They definitely inherited their Dads singing voice

[michellepeterson]

One of my favorite songs for many years but one of my favorite artists and what a beautiful duet with his daughter, Callie!

[joannewolford]

Beautiful!!! Love to hear Callie sing with her Dad!!!❤️❤️

[shareromney]

Really nice to see Callie shining! Isaiah 60:1

[MonicaWasser]

It must be so special to sing with your daughter. You both sound wonderful! My daughter picked this song for her father/daughter dance. They were both weeping, and so was I. Thank you for making it even better by putting your emoticonal touch on it!❤

[elizabethgrayson]

David is such an excellent composer, I love the way he always puts his voice under his daughters. To make them shine. The harmonies are second to none.

[TheRealMikeHood]

Davids voice gives me awe, peace and joy in every single performance. As far as male vocalist go, he is the GOAT!🎙🏆

[dianehail]

Oh my!!! David Phelps never disappoints and his daughter is also blessed with a awesome voice.🙏

[lisaoehlers]

David. I absolutely love love love love love this arrangement.
You and Callie both shine brilliantly like the beautiful stars that you are.❤

[TheUSHERKAN]

Those chest voice notes from Phelps, man oh, man! Chef's kiss 😘

[angiehoffman]

Oh love you and Callie together.Thank you 😘 Beautiful

[snkeptz]

Most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard! Bravo, David and Callie. 👏👏

[eviehall]

Can't get enough of his singing and praises to our God!

[Niansboog]

Oh my!! You can't beat a tenor and alto, family harmony, or father/daughter singing a song about simple living. I love hymns, praise songs, and contemporary songs, but there's such a place in America today for good advice, common sense songs! David, and Callie...amazing. I literally felt myself sitting up taller and straighter in my seat with your harmonies and just the feel of this one. I loved it back in the day, but I love it even more now than I did before. Keep these GREAT songs coming. I love the Phelps family!

[cathymoorman]

WOW! What an amazing voice she has. Of course her dad does as well.😁

[katiemcneece]

The words and meaning of this song have become so much more vivid. Love the original, and really love this version.
