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
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete/\n\n/Come stop your crying, it will be all right
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I will protect you from all around you
I will be here dont you cry/\n\n/And youll be in my heart
Yes, youll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Dont listen to them, cause what do they know
We need each other, to have and to hold
Theyll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you, but you gotta hold on
Theyll see in time, I know
Well show them together cuz...
Youll be in my heart
Believe me, youll be in my heart
Ill be there from this day on
Now and forever more
Youll be in my heart
No matter what they say
Youll be here in my heart
Always
Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see that if I were to truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
How I pray,
That a time will come I can free myself,
And meet their expectations
On that day,
I'll discover some way to free myself, and to make my family proud
They want a docile lamb, noone knows who I am
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else, for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
