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 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 it s harms
Till I find my hero s welcome waiting in your arms
