i hope you dance

"And if you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."

Welcome to the world. A place filled with noise, pollution, and people. Here, the everyday miracles are usually overshadowed by the disaster of the day. Despite the beauty present in each of us, we tend to be overcome by our own human nature. Greed, lust, despair, fear, anger, and vanity have become veils to the complexity within.

And this is the world we bring life into. Full of crime and pain. Full of selfish people. A world in which we struggle to find purpose, love, and contentment. The only guarantee we can have is that we will die.

This line is from a song about conquering this world the only way we can. With hope and determination. By taking advantage of the opportunities put forth. By recognizing and taking good risks.

This line is about seizing the day. About making the most of each moment. About taking advantage of the day, because its all we know we have. About being able to look back without regret, be happy in today, and look forward with optimism and great expectation.

This song is about teaching someone how to conquer this world. About loving people enough to want to see them accomplish more than yourself. About finding the inner peace to encourage others. About seeing how much beauty and quality this world really holds.
