I Want You to Dance” – Island Times

I hope you never lose your curiosity

You are full, but you always feel hungry.

May you never take your breath for granted

God does not allow love to leave you empty-handed

I hope you can still feel small when you stand on the beach

Every time a door closes, I hope another one opens

Promise me you’ll give Faith a chance to fight back

When you can choose to sit down or dance

I want you to dance

I want you to dance

I hope you’ll never be afraid of the mountains in the distance

Never choose the path of least resistance

Survival may mean taking risks, but they are worth it

Love may be a mistake but it is worth loving

Don’t let some desperate heart make you suffer

When you are about to sell yourself out, please reconsider

Don’t just glance at the sky above

When you can choose to sit down or dance

I want you to dance (time is a wheel that keeps moving)

I want you to dance (always with us)

I want you to dance (Tell me, who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I want you to dance (where did all those years go?)

I hope you can still feel small when you stand on the beach

Every time a door closes, I hope another one opens

Promise me you’ll give Faith a chance to fight back

When you can choose to sit down or dance

dance

I want you to dance

I want you to dance (time is a wheel that keeps moving)

I want you to dance (always with us)

I hope you dance (tell me, who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

I want you to dance (where did all those years go?)

(Dance) (Tell me, who wants to look back on their years and think)

(Dance) (Where did all those years go?)
