I have of ten dreamed
of a far off place
where a he ro’s wel come would be wait ing for me,
where the crowds will cheer
when they see my face,
and a voice keeps say ing this is where I’m meant to be.
I’ll be there some day.
I can go the dis tance.
I will find my way
No, I if I can be strong.
I know ev ’ry mile
will be worth my while.
When I go the dis tance, I’ll be right
where I
be long.
Down an un known road
to em brace my fate,
though that road may wan der, it will lead me to you.
And a thou sand years
would be worth the wait.
It might take a life time, but some how I’ll see it through.
And I won’t look back.
I can go the dis tance.
And I’ll stay on track.
No, I won’t ac cept de feat.
It’s an up hill slope,
but I worth my while.
When I go the dis tance, I’ll be right
where I
be long.
Down an won’t lose hope
till I go the dis tance and my jour
ney is
com plete.
Oh, yeah.
But to look be yond the glo ry is the hard est part,
for a he ro’s strength is meas ured by his heart.
Like a shoot ing star,
I will go the dis tance.
I will search the world.
I will face its harms.
I don’t care how far.
I can go the dis tance till I find my he ro’s wel come wait ing in
your arms.
