Go the Distance
Craig Rhys Barlow Lyrics

I have often dreamt, of a far off place
I have dreamed many times of a distant location

Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
A reception usually reserved for heroes would await me there

Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
People will gladly applaud and shout in delight when they see me

And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
A voice within me keeps affirming that this place is where I belong

I will find my way, I can go the distance
I believe that I can reach that distant place

I'll be there someday, if I can be strong
With enough strength, I'll arrive there someday

I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
I'm convinced that every mile I travel will be beneficial in the end

When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
I'll feel fulfilled and content when I finally reach that destination

Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
I'll venture down a path that's new and uncertain to discover my destiny

Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
Even if the path is meandering, I'll eventually get there

And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
The wait would be worth it even if it took a thousand years

It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
It could take my whole life, but I'll persevere until the end

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
I refuse to give up and will continue moving forward

And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
I'll remain motivated and won't let failures discourage me

It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Although it may be difficult, I won't give up hope

Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
I won't stop until I reach my destination and finish my journey

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
The most challenging part is to focus on the journey instead of the praise

For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
A person's courage and perseverance are the true measures of their heroism

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I'll be as fast and successful as a shooting star in achieving my goal

I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I'm willing to travel the world and confront its dangers

I don't care how far, I can go the distance
No distance is too far for me to travel to reach my goal

Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I'll know I've arrived when I'm in your loving embrace

I will search the world, I will face its harms
I'm willing to travel the world and confront its dangers

Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I'll know I've achieved success when I'm in your loving embrace
