Go the Distance

Setelah punya anak, awalnya saya 'terpaksa' nonton film-film kartun. Tetapi akhirnya jadi menikmati, karena dibalik kelucuan dan kekanak-kanakan film kartun, ternyata kandungan nilai-nilainya melimpah sekali.
Salah satunya adalah film "Hercules" yang dikeluarkan Disney. Sudah agak lawas. Tapi lirik lagunya menurut saya luar biasa indah. Merangkum esensi kepemimpinan dan kepahlawan.
Lantunannya pun menggugah semangat. Selamat menikmati !

I have often dream
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 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 …….
