| ************************************** |
|
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 its 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.... |
