窗外的小雨淅淅瀝瀝，下個不停。今年的德州天氣涼爽，雨季比往年漫長，五月中旬春意闌珊而夏天似乎遲遲未來。時間真快呀，轉眼又快到女兒十八歲的生日。突然耳邊便響起那隻美麗的英文歌謠“I hope you dance 願你跳生命之舞"，又聽了幾遍，非常合乎我此刻的對女兒的祝福和心意。
歌曲傳達一種讓我們”仰望星空，熱愛生命“的心態，那就是麵對天地我們永遠的渺小軟弱需要謙卑敬畏的心，麵對生命我們應不畏艱辛用於求知探索。祝願這首寓意深刻充滿愛，溫馨和激勵的曲子伴隨女兒一生的成長！
願你跳生命之舞
願你永不失去那顆求索的心
永遠保存那一份慕義的饑渴
不讓一絲氣息白白掠過
愛，它不會讓你空手無獲
願你站在大海邊看到渺小的自己
當機遇的大門關閉，願另一扇為你開啟
答應我你要對信心堅定不移
是選擇旁觀靜坐，還是去跳舞？
我願你去跳舞，去跳生命之舞
願你永不畏懼遠方的險峰
不為山路崎嶇艱難而選擇坦途
人生在於敢冒那值得一搏的風險
愛，它或許是個值得一犯的錯誤
不要讓那無心的傷害變成苦澀
莫要輕言放棄，再給自己一個機會
相信那來自上天的祝福
是選擇旁觀靜坐，還是去跳舞？
我願你去跳舞，去跳生命之舞
時間的車輪滾滾，永不止息
莫等閑，我們隻有前行
誰又想多年後，慕回首
疑惑那流逝的時光，歲月蹉跎
是選擇旁觀靜坐，還是去跳舞？
我願你去跳舞，去跳生命之舞
"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 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 never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' 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.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)
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.
Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
