Go the Distance

I've been to the annual Paskuhan last night not only for the fireworks or the good music but mostly for the company. Every year, my high school friends and I make it a point to be together in the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas. It was made easier for us because there's Paskuhan, a perfect excuse to get together. Though, I had to decline a handful of invitations to other parties just so that I could attend that one. Anyways, I chose the song Go the Distance because it was our Graduation song. We did a English-Spanish version. The song tells us to dream big and aspire more. Patience and Determination would lead you to success.

Here's the 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 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 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 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 it's 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 it's harms 

Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
