The Call (Renewed)
“I Can Go the Distance”
performed by Roger Bart
from Disney’s Hercules
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 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 ev’ry 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 the road may wander
it will lead me to you,
and a thousand years
would be worth the wait!
It may 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 lose hope,
‘til 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 can go the distance!
I will search the world.
I will face its harms.
I don’t care how far,
I can go the distance,
‘til I find my hero’s welcome
waiting in your arms…I will search the world.
I will face its harms,
‘til I find my hero’s welcome
waiting in your arms…
