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 ev'ry 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 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  '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 it's 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 it's harms  'Till I find my hero's welcome  Waiting in your arms
