"I Hope You Dance" is the name of the song and it's by Lee Ann Womack (and Sons Of The Desert). It's about a mother hoping her daughters succeeded in life and do everything they can do to succeed. I do not own the song or DBZ. Enjoy!

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*
Videl moved to the curtain of her front window of her house. Her husband Gohan just pulled in the driveway from his long day of work. She smiled and put her hand on her 8-month pregnant stomach when she saw her husband enter the room. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and they both walked into their lounge room where they always talk about things each and every day. Videl's hand never left her stomach as he walk alongside of her husband to the back of their house to the small room with was converted into the office/lounge room for both to relax and do their office work.
*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 fate a fighting chance*
About a month later, a small baby, no older then a day, with little strands of black hair on her head, stirred in her crib located in the baby's nursery. The baby's father, Gohan, tucked the baby in and then stood up and smiled. Videl leaned her head on Gohan's shoulder as Gohan put his arm around her waist. The little baby stirred again as it adjusted its self in its crib once more as her proud parents watched her sleep.
*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*
"Mama I'm scared." A little girl with short black hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes looked back to her mother who was standing by the car. "Pan its alright. Bura will be there, and I'm sure you'll have lots of fun making new friends." Videl smiled as her daughter ran back to the car. She dropped her backpack and jumped into her mother's arms. "I'll have more fun with you at home. I can help you around the house, and, and…" Pan pleaded, but her mother just wiped the tear from Pan's face and handed Pan her backpack. "I promise I'll be here after school. Now if you promise me you'll try your best today, I'll take you out for ice cream when I pick you up. OK? Just you and me." Videl smiled as she saw Pan's face brighten. "Sniff. OK." Pan ran up to the building as Videl watched her baby girl head off to her first day of school.
*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*
A teenaged girl with medium length black hair and blond highlights was running around her room half dressed looking for the perfect outfit. Her bed was cluttered in dressed of all shapes, sizes and colors and her shoe collection was spread out on the floor. Videl watched from the doorway as her daughter raced the clock trying to get ready for her first date with her life long crush. "I can't wind my earring. Where is it?" Pan complained as she finally threw on an outfit and searched desperately for her lost earring. "Love ya mama, papa." Pan said as she flew out of her room and down the stairs as the doorbell rang.
*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*
Videl stood by the open door with the sound o a running car in the background. Gohan reentered the house after loading the last few bags into the brand new silver Mitsubishi Spider. Footsteps could be heard as a full-grown girl with long black hair and ocean blue eyes came walking down carrying one last small duffle bag. She wore a white denim cut-off mini skirt and a gray hooded sweatshirt with the name "Harvard" written across the chest in big maroon letters. She slipped on her white sneakers and smiled at her parents at the door. "Bye Mama, bye papa." Pan hugged her mom, and kissed her dad goodbye. She exited the house and closed the door behind her, smiling and fighting the tears as she went. Standing in the front window with the curtain drawn, Gohan embraced his teary-eyed wife as their baby girl drove away.
*And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
Dance!
I hope you dance
I hope you dance*
Small, white grains of rice littered the ground as a happy newlywed bride and groom exited the church. Videl and her husband Gohan stood in the crown smiling and clapping for the new couple as they tried to make their way to the waiting limousine. The groom lifted Pan into his arms for a faster getaway, and Pan looked back laughing, so find her parents. There they were. Smiling and waving goodbye to their baby girl; Videl just watched as memories of raising Pan flooded back into her head. Pan blew her parents one last goodbye kiss as the limousine drove away. Videl wiped a tear from her face as she joined the crowd in waving goodbye.
*(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their years and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)*
