I have often dreamed of a far off place Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday, I can go the distance I will find my way, if I can be strong I know every mile would be worth my while When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong ♪ Down an unknown road to embrace my fate Though that road may wander (it will lead me to you) And a thousand years would be worth the wait It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through And I won't look back, I can go the distance And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat It's an uphill slope But I won't lose hope, 'til I go the distance And my journey is complete Ooh, yeah But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part For a hero's strength is measured by his heart ♪ Like a shooting star, I will go the distance I will search the world, I will face it's harms I don't care how far, I can go the distance 'Til I find my hero's welcome waiting In your arms
