[Why they call it falling]
[I hope you dance]


Why they call it falling
Its like jumping 
its like leaping 
its like walking on the ceiling 
its like floating 
its like flying through the air 
its like soaring its like gliding 
its a rocketship your riding 
its a feeling that can take you anywhere 

so why they call it falling 
so why they call it falling 
i dont know 

there was passion 
there was laughter 
the first morning after 
i just couldnt 
get my feet to touch the ground 
everytime we were together we talked about forever 
i was certain it was heaven we had found 

so why they call it falling 
why they call it falling 
why they call it falling 
i dont know 

but you cant live your life walking in the clouds 
sooner or later you have to come down 

its like a knife through the heart 
when it all comes apart 
its like someone takes a pin to your balloon 
its a hole 
its a cave 
its kind of like a grave 
when he tells you that hes found somebody new 

and why they call it falling 
why they call it falling 
why they call it falling 
now i know 

why they call it falling 
why they call it falling 

now i know 
I hope you dance
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 singe breathe for granted
And 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 the fighting chance
And if you get the chance to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
And never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some helping heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a pasing 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

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 the 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
