Go The Distance Lyrics
Lucas Grabeel
Lyrics
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 the voice keep saying
this is where I 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 wonder
it will lead me to you
And the thousand years
would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
but somehow I see it through
And I won't look back
I can go the distance
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 a world
I will face its harms
'Till I find my hero's welcome
waiting in your arms
