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 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 oh
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
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
That a hero lies in you
