"Go The Distance" lyrics

I have often dreamed
Of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome
Would be waiting for me

Where the crowds will 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
Will 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 the road may wander
It will lead me to you

And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It may 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
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

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 its harms

I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms
