(Verse 1)
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"
(Chorus)
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
(Verse 2)
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
(Chorus)
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, oh yeah
(Bridge)
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Oh, ooh-ooh
(Chorus)
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
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
(Outro)
I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
