Lyrics
Jack: ''I have often dreamed of a far off place where a hero’s welcome would be waiting for me. Where the crowds would 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 would 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 loose 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, oh.

''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.
