Graduate 2011: Levi

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 fate the fighting chance... 

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance... 

I hope you dance. 

I hope you never fear the mountains in the distance... 

Never settle for the path of least resistance... 

Livin' 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...

If 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. 

(Time, it's a real and 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 fate the fighting chance...  

And when you get the choice, to sit it out or dance... 

DANCE!
