I Hope You Dance

Leanne Wolmack's song "I hope you dance" is one of my mom's favorite songs.  When ever it's on the radio, she cranks it up and belts the lyrics.  When this song first came out, I found it to be so annoying!  I was about 8 or 9 and I thought the song was so over played and the lyrics were so corny.  It wasnt until I grew up that I realized how important the lyrics are.  When she says "If you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance", she is saying to jump on opportunities that come your way.  Dont let the voice in the back of your head talk you out of doing something because you think you will look dumb.  Dont just do what everyone else does, be an individual and find that thing that makes you unique and cool.  You will feel more fufilled with yourself if you do what you want to do because it makes you happy then following what everyone else does because you are afraid to be different.
