[Verse]
       D  E     A           D   E    A
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
         D    C#     F#m            D        E
Where a great warm welcome will be waiting for me
          D      E    A                D      A
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
         D   C#     F#m            D                E
And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be


[First Chorus]
        A      E   F#m           E
I will find my way, I can go the distance
        A      E       F#m         E
I'll be there someday, if I can be strong
        A     Bm           F#m      Bm7
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
        D  E    A   A/G#     Dmaj7    E   A
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong


**See Monologue Note 1**


[Second Chorus]
     A      E     F#m           E
I am on my way, I will go the distance
        A        E    F#m             E
I don't care how far, somehow I'll be strong
        A      Bm              F#m      Bm7
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
         D    E  A   A/G#        Dmaj7       A
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through

[Bridge]
        C                            G
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
        Am                  F            G
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart


[Last Chorus]
        C        Dm      C           G
I will beat the odds, I will go the distance
       C         Dm      C                  G
I will face the world, fearless, proud, and strong
       C          F           Am7     Dm
I will please the gods, I can go the distance
        F   G   C             F           G C
'Til I find my hero's welcome right where I belong
