Song Lyrics

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 loose hope till I go the distance
And my journey is complete, oh yeah

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart, oh

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world; I will face its harms
I don't care how far; I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

I will search the world; I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome waiting in your arms

Alan Menken, David Zippel
