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
