Lullaby #3

I do not think it is any surprise at all that this will be a song I sing to my baby as a lullaby.  Of course this is how I feel!  I want my baby to never hold itself back from the beauty God created in this world.  May my child always be able to see this world through His eyes though, and not through dim, blurry vision. 

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
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 dance, I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance (after all, the way that leads to Life is narrow and hard)
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hellbent 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, I hope you dance.  I hope you dance, I hope you dance.

Dance, Baby Seals, Dance.
