Go The Distance

**** BEWARE: CORNY DISNEY LYRICS AHEAD****

I stumbled across these lyrics tonight.... just thought i would post them and see whether they ring true for anyone out there.... the downside is that "curly-locks" Michael Bolton had the honour of singing this for the Hercules movie... the upside is that its a pretty darn powerful song which (thank goodness) makes you forget who sings it.....

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 its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
