Go the Distance (from Hercules) Songtext
von Peter Hollens

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 every 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
′Til 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
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
