I hope you dance, sing and most of all, love.

suddenly remembered this song that Mrs. Michelle Ng let us hear at the end of Sec 4.

the lyrics are supposed to be inspirational and they are, but i just read them and my heart feels so heavy. reminds me of how hard and cruel the world has become, and how fragile life is. and yea, on a more personal note, how screwed up a person i was in the past 10 months. but i'm grateful that i've woken up before my life goes too downhill and there's no way back up.

and sigh, anxiousness always messes things up, but still i can't help but worry about THAT problem. when will it be alright? when will i get to start over and smile from my heart again? even though i hate to admit it, i do miss you.
and i wonder if you miss me too.

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 single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me 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 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
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's 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 (Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance (Rolling us along)
I hope you dance (Tell me who)
I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance.
well, will you?
I hope we all will (: no matter what happens.

sure, it's easy to just say that, but it's terribly hard to put it into practice. i've been there and been back many times. and sometimes life throws you something that turns your life upside down. but the night is darkest before dawn. and you never know what's going to happen if you close your heart to hope.

i tried hardening my heart before as a wall of defence, so i won't get hurt no more. but it never did work out in the end. i guess i was blessed in the aspect that there was always so much love around that my heart never got a chance to harden enough before it melts again.

didn't treasure that love properly. and oh the irony. cause now when it's slipping away, i finally wake up. but i'm not stopping there, that's for sure (:
When you come close to selling out, reconsider.

oh, and pauline rocks you know? i love you pauline (:
