Poor Unfortunate Souls - Los Menudines, Alfredo Kraus

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

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

TillI find my hero’s welcome

Waiting in your arms…

I will search the world

I will face its harms

TillI find my hero’s welcome

Waiting in your arms…
