  I have often dreamed   Of a far off place  Where a great, warm welcoming 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 will fiind my way                                I can go the distance        
I'll be there someday

      If I can be strong             I know every mile  Will be worth my while  I will  
go almost anywhere

      To feel like             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 

e|-2-3-5------0--------0----0--2-0-2-3h2-------0--2-3-5--------0-------0---0-----|

No I won't accept defeat     It's an uphill slope    But I won't lose hope  Till I go  
the          distance 

e|-2-0-2-3h2------0--2-3-5--------------------------------------------------------|

      And my journey is complete

      But to look beyond the glory is the ha--ardest 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
